Tips & Tricks, June 2014

Favorite quote of the month
“…..I no longer feel overwhelmed and depressed when I go into the basement.”
Excerpt from an email I received from a new client, Mary, after our first session.

A great big “WELCOME!” to all of our new subscribers this month. Thanks for joining us – it’s really great to have you with us.

 You can be free of paper piles – today. Yes, really.

I have been having a great time speaking to various groups around the Baltimore area and hands down, the most popular issue is PAPER PILES. The most common struggles include:

• Dealing with “to do’s” to better insure that they’re actually done.
• Knowing what should be kept and what can be shredded.
• Ensuring that bills are paid on time.
• Dealing with all the articles and tips that are clipped to be read ‘later.’
• Dealing with old papers from the past.
• Handling Mail.

If this strikes a chord with you, perhaps you may be interested in the Aim 4 Order P.A.C. (Paper Action Center).

This product was officially launched last week and so far, the response has been terrific. Included in the P.A.C. is a 45 minute seminar on “Paper Pile Prevention” along with other valuable handouts, all stored on an Aim 4 Order flash drive. For more information on the P.A.C., click here.

For my wonderful subscribers, I am offering a $10 discount (in honor of Aim 4 Order’s 10th anniversary in July). Please email me directly to purchase.
PS —if you are nearby, you can save on shipping costs, too!

Have a wonderful 4th of July and if you find an extra 15 minutes during the long weekend, pick a drawer or pick a box or pick a corner, and see if you can:
a. Toss it
b. Donate it
c. Sell it
d. Gift it
Let the fun (and freedom) begin!

I met (and hugged) The Minimalists!

Yes, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, otherwise known as The Minimalists, were at the Ivy Bookshop in Mt. Washington last month. As excited as I was to meet the guys, I was even MORE excited to see so many of my wonderful clients there. What a thoroughly enjoyable time.

One of my favorite lines of the evening was….”Love people, use things….not the other way around.” The Minimalists have a weekly email that is always short and poignant…I encourage you to sign up here.

“Helping Baby Boomers and their Parents Lighten their Loads.”
