Let’s get personal: How I got my shit together and stopped the middle of the night panic.

I have anxiety.

I used to be struck with random panic, wondering the location of personal documents--you know, the ones that are super important, but you rarely use. I'd lie awake imagining horrible scenarios where I would need a certain thing and not be able to find it. Finally, I bit the bullet and developed a system that works for me (and could easily be implemented for business as well).

Sprucing Up Your Financial Life.

I am not an innately organized person. This may seem strange given my chosen profession, but most of my systems and organization has been learned over time and is strongly tied to necessity rather than preference. One of the ways that I stay on top of things is to schedule time for organization. It ain’t gonna happen if I don’t. The new year always seems like the perfect time to do some of that work.
