NAPO Meeting & File Organizing
February 18th attended NAPO Michigan chapter meeting in Novi and I am head of the hospitality committee. Set up materials, food and met new visitors coming in. The meeting was on hoarding with Debbie Stanley, an icon in the industry, who just received her masters in counseling hoarders and chronically disorganized clients.
Had lunch at Pei Wei with 3 other organizers and chatted about our upcoming conference in Columbus, Ohio that we are attending.
First session with a new client to set up a filing system for her paperwork. Started sorting by categories and threw away or purged old dates. She did not have very much paper work compared to other clients, but it did take 3 hours to sort.
Next session will be setting up a filing system (SMEAD Viewables tabs) which are 3D and color coded. Came home took a nap, ate and started on my laptop, viewing email and calling clients.
Good night and sweet dreams!
