Next Event: Tuesday, June 29, 2010

Conquer your paper clutter once and for all with the strategies shared in Declutter Your Paperwork! Join coach Dr. Christine Hegstad and organizer Lori Vande Krol as we help you clear away the excess in your paper piles, share tips and tools for creating your filing and organizing systems, and make the process lasting and even fun.

If you feel bogged down or overwhelmed by paper, we have designed this course with you in mind. Through our proven systems, practical activities, and inspiring before-and-after photos, you will leave this seminar with the information and resources to handle any piece of paper that comes your way. We will help you create a personalized action plan and, if you wish, we will follow up with you to ensure you reach your goals. Using our unique five-step process, you will seamlessly move through your paper challenges to create a clear and inviting desktop - as well as a fresh and energized frame of mind!

What You Will Learn

The average person spends six weeks out of every year searching for misplaced items on their desks, in their drawers, and throughout their workspaces. What would you do with an extra six weeks every year? How about an extra hour each day?

During this seminar, you will learn our proven five-step process that will enable you to:

* Reduce the amount of incoming papers and mail;

* Eliminate endless scraps and random notes;

* Determine what to keep and for how long;

* Set up easy-to-maintain files where you need them;

* Design systems to track data and manage multiple projects;

* Put papers away without fear of forgetting them; and

* Create the foundation for a balanced and productive life!

With our innovative techniques and practical ideas, you will leave this interactive seminar with the information and resources to handle any piece of paper that comes your way. We will help you create your personalized action plan, determine what steps to take next, and follow up with you (if you wish) to ensure you achieve your goals.

 What Participants Are Saying

 "I just wanted to let you know you have succeeded where all before you have failed. I seemed to be incapable of paying my bills on time. Well, it was proven to me this evening that you have me on the path to doing just that. Before your seminar, no matter what method I tried, something always got missed. Tonight I paid a bill that will arrive on time for the first time ever. I am truly a changed man, and it feels good - MUCH EASIER with your systems and insights!! A thousand Thank You's!"  ~ Kurt Bingham, Metro Locksmith

"After this class, I went right home and cleaned out some old papers and took care of some filing that I had been putting off. I also sent a great deal of excess paper to the shredder. Your class has given me the impetus to get moving!" ~ Karen Rumelhart, Des Moines

"Thank you for your recent Declutter Your Paperwork class. The tips and tools you provided are working great, and I am making progress towards the goal I set for myself during the class - a clean, neat, organized and stress-free environment.

"It has only been a week since I took Declutter Your Paperwork and I have already found more than $600 that was lost and forgotten amidst the paper piles!" N., Des Moines
