Managing our personal information has a myriad of significant benefits:
-
It puts an end to the feeling of suffocation created by the accumulation of duplicate documents and computer files
-
Greater efficiency & time saving by retrieving information quickly, right when needed (I teach lots of tricks re Gmail, WhatsApp and other smartphone apps)
-
Money saving
-
Extending the life of your computer and phone
-
Ability to make important decisions based on organized information
-
Less “where the heck did I store that” frustration
-
Peace of mind
All of these can be achieved by my guidance.
I'm certain that you've found yourself many times overwhelmed by the huge amounts of important personal information in your life:
-
your finances - bank accounts, credit cards, insurance policies, investments
-
your health - test results, medical summaries & expenses
-
your employment - salary slips, contracts, recommendation letters, resumes)
-
household bills and subscriptions
-
passwords
-
children and education - reports, grades, assignments, extra murals, hobbies
-
photos & videos
-
important documents - wills, passports, birth certificates etc
-
contacts' details
-
Nostalgia - memorabilia, trips, holidays
Most people keep this info in disarray, scattered between their email, on their smartphone , in various apps, in computer files, and/or in hard copy. A lot of it gets discarded either by mistake or because we think we will remember it (we don't).
As a personal finances consultant/coach, each consultation begins with organizing the clients' financial info. After they experience the advantages of the new order and management systems in their finances, many of my clients ask me to help them instill systems which suit them, for managing the rest of their personal information (and if they are self-employed – also for the info pertaining to their business).
You can enjoy my information management services unrelated to your finances, via personal hands-on meetings. These are designed to bring PIM into your life and make managing your information simpler.
If you feel an itch to start managing your personal info – I’m your go-to person.
It's more than order.
It's more than organization.
It's Management.
