Note: This class is only offered once in 2012 
- Do bills, newspapers, magazines, mail, and kids’ schoolwork go missing as soon as they come through the door?
- Do others in the home hand paper to you and expect it to be found in two seconds when it is needed?
- Does locating the instruction manual for the television, or the warrantee for the leaking hot water heater, cost hours of your time as you tear the house apart?
Did you answer “YES!” to any of these questions? Brook Noel has the system to turn that answer to a proud “NO!” Join us, and let her help…
In this course you will:
- Establish a home for incoming paper that directs it to the responsible party
- Develop a system for paperwork with timely action and automatic self-filing
- Learn how to contain paper in time-sensitive storage until needed for action
Course Summary:
Week One – In our first week, we will design our systems to accommodate every paper, magazine, bill or reply card as it enters the home. Nothing will be lost from here on…all will be housed where we need it based upon its timeline for action and according to its responsible party. No more seeking out someone’s homework, report for work, or permission slip for last-minute action!
Week Two – In our second week we will learn and practice the ‘flow’ of active paper management, routing for action, and automatic filing based upon future needs, once processed. Then we will develop an action plan for active paper maintenance to assure future peace and efficiency.
Paper will never leave our lives…we can’t leave it, and we don’t need to love it. But we CAN manage it efficiently! And we will…
Class F.A.Q.
How Do These Classes Work? Our classes feature a very easy to navigate portal you will login at to access your course. You do not need to be a tech-guru to take our classes. Our classes do not require you to be present at a specific time of day. We use downloadable lessons, message boards, and an online event room to allow you to work through each lesson whenever it fits into your day. The weekend before class begins you will be sent your system user ID and password to login to our community support and learning system.
On the class portal page you will be able to:
- Share on our class message boards and receive step-by-step guidance for any questions during your journey.
- Access and print (or save) your lessons.
- Network with other class members through the message board or instant messaging system.
- Access any class links and worksheets. This portal is extremely easy to use, no internet or message board finesse required.
How much time does this class require? There is no mandatory deadline or sharing with the assignments (although sharing is encouraged and half the fun!) therefore you are free to work at your own pace although you will need to download all lessons during the class period. We do leave classes open for 1 month beyond the scheduled end date, to allow you to retrieve any outstanding information and download lessons–although class helpers are not available for Q&A during this time. Class helpers are only available during the actual 2 weeks of the course. Since we run so many classes, we are unable to send lessons manually or to make them available once the class has closed. By completing an action plan and downloading the lessons you can continue to work on your new system at any pace comfortable to you.
