Sometimes Being Organized Requires an Initial Time Investment
|
My daughter, Amanda, is a junior in high school and is in the process of
visiting colleges.
We already went on a bunch of in-state tours in Wisconsin, as well as tours in
one neighboring state. Now we're planning for a major road trip from Wisconsin
to Ohio, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. That's happening
in July and there is quite a bit of planning.
Initially, we were thinking of flying and renting a car...but we decided to
scrap that plan. Driving will be great mother-daughter bonding time for us, and
will involve less hassles and expense with airlines and rental car companies.
We're looking forward to it. As you can imagine, there is quite a bit of
planning involved. First, my daughter had to determine the colleges that would
best set her up for success and align with her personality. She has been working
on this for months, and has her 'to visit' list in a spreadsheet...with columns
for all the criteria so we can take notes as we visit each college. I'm
proud of her and relieved. By doing this, she has taken excellent prep steps to
be sure this is an organized process.
Next she had to set up tour appointments with the colleges we'll be visiting.
This was tricky because I didn't want to have to drive, for example, from
Connecticut to New York and then back to Connecticut again. The appointments had
to be made according to location (without backtracking)...and distance between
colleges...for the week we'd be in town. It was a lot of work and a ton of
scheduling and rescheduling to get it right...but we now have a plan.
Then, we had to make hotel reservations in multiple cities/states. We tried to
stick with one hotel chain for the entire trip whenever possible, but had to
stray from this plan a few times if that chain wasn't close enough. All of
those reservations are now made.
Finally, no trip to the east coast is complete for our family without an
extended family visit. So, we're planning some beach time at the end of our trip
to hang out with my dad and my sister's family. By that time, I'm sure we'll be
more than ready to enjoy some relaxing time before we head back for the long
drive home.
In summary, sometimes being organized takes an initial time investment. But just
imagine what a nightmare, and time waster, this trip would be without effective
preparation. Planning and preparation, no matter what project you're working
on:
a) provides direction and makes the objectives crystal clear.
b) reduces risk of problems.
c) decreases overlap and wasteful activity.
d) significantly decreases chaos and stress.
e) dramatically increases the chances that goals will be met.

Garage sales are a WONDERFUL way to get rid of your clutter and spring/summer is
the perfect time to host one! If you've hosted a sale before, you probably
already know it's no fun planning and setting up for a garage sale, just to find
out you have only a few customers throughout your day, little more than your
starting cash, and a whole lot of your stuff at the end of your sale.
If you've been frustrated with the work and energy you put into your garage
sales...with little profit to show for it when you're done...the Get Organized
Now! Garage Sale Tool Kit is for you!
Here's what just one customer had to say...
'Garage sales were a big pain, and we hardly made any money for all our time
and effort. Now I realize I just didn't know how to plan them very well. Your
tool kit showed me the easy ways to organize my garage sales and exactly how to
make good money each time -- just by doing it right!' (Jessica R.,
Powhattan, VA)
Don't settle for average results and minimum pay back. Give yourself the best
chance for maximum results. You won't be disappointed.
P.S. This is the perfect time to begin planning your garage sale. Start today by
getting yourself a copy of my Garage Sale Tool Kit. When you do, you'll get
