Overwhelmed by all the paper in your life? Don’t know what to keep? Afraid to put papers away because you won’t find them again? Don’t know where your important papers are? If any of these sounds like you, there’s hope. Helen Volk is offering her popular interactive Filing 101 class to help you conquer your “fear of filing” and manage the paper in your life.

We’ll discuss the relationship of time to paper control, and examine the attitudes which will help you grab hold of the papers in your life, rather than pile them because you dread the process. You ‘ll be better able to handle the daily mail, take steps to reduce incoming mail and decide what to keep and what not to keep.You’ll learn how to create a filing system that works for you, understand the different methods of filing, and locate important papers so you can find them when you need them.

Helen will be teaching from her popular book, FILING 101, regularly priced at $14. For attendees of this workshop, Helen is offering a special price of $11 for the book so everyone can stay current during the workshop and customize this valuable resource for use at home. Couples may share a workbook. Reserve your book when you register, please.
