FALL 2010 Classes... Coming Soon

Class location and times to be determined shortly

TURN THOSE PILES INTO FILES!
Do you have papers all over your house and documents all over your computer and not know where to put them electronically or physically? Did you know you could scan your hard copy papers into your computer, create file folders and archive to disk so that everything is accessible via your computer? Come learn how to organize both kinds of documents; paper and electronic and then learn how to create files and organize your documents on your home computer.

MAIL, MAIL GO AWAY AND DON'T COME BACK ANOTHER DAY!

This class will teach you how to deal with the mail in your mailbox and the email in your inbox. Come learn how to combat the deluge of information people are sending you both electronically and physically with and without your permission. You will learn how to set up a tickler system so no paper falls through the cracks of your kitchen counters and no emails fall to the "scroll down" feature on your computer. You will also learn how to purge junk mail and SPAM by stopping it from coming into your home and computer in the first place.

WHERE HAVE ALL MY PHOTOS GONE?

Do you know where all your photos are? Are they all over the house and all over your computer? Many people have lost the ability to "see" their photos because they are scattered in boxes, drawers, plastic tubs, on different media cards, cameras and computers. Even though we have them, we really don't know how to find at them. Come learn how to organize and computerize your photos so you can treasure your memorabilia. After all, that's why we take pictures to begin with.

FROM HOMEROOM TO HOMEWORK (NEW!)

Do you know how to help your child succeed academically? By helping your children get organized, you give them a life skill that is not taught in school. Come learn the basics on how to teach your "students" the mechanics of organizing their backpacks, lockers, desks and planners. Then learn how to computerize these tasks so that getting assignments done on time is a reality. This course is for parents of 4th-12th graders who want to create systems so their children can spend their time doing homework instead of trying to find it!

CREATE YOUR OWN HOLIDAY ORGANIZER (NEW!)

Now is the perfect time to get ready for the holidays. Come create your own "Holiday Organizer" which will house all your seasonal information into one binder system. We will computerize your lists using Excel to create a Card List, Who to Buy For, Budget, Menus, Calendar and Traditions. At the end of the class you will go home with your materials, including a CD all ready for you to tackle and customize your holiday before Thanksgiving even arrives.

Party with POSSE!

Are you overwhelmed with paper clutter? Let's think "Out of the Box". Treat yourself and a few girlfriends to a new way to celebrate the clutter-clearing of your countertops.

Have a POSSE party...

Have a GO, SO or Box of Joe

1. GO Box - "Get Organized" box which consists of a desktop file box and tickler system to corral all adult active papers.
2. SO Box - "Student Organized" box which consists also of a desktop file box but customized for a child's academic and personal life.
3. JOE Box - A Box of Joe from Dunkin' Donuts or you can provide wine and cheese if you like! Here's an opportunity to "Ask the Organizer" about any household organizing dilemmas, and/or projects that cause dysfunction in your home.

How it works:

1. You pick from 1, 2 or 3 above and schedule a date with POSSE. Invite whomever you would like to attend.
2. POSSE does a quick phone assessment before the party to get "organized" for the event.
3. On the date of the party, POSSE arrives 30 minutes ahead of the party time ready for a 1-hour organizing demonstration based on your project.

Costs:

• The cost of the Professional Organizer is $100 for the evening.
• Any organizing supplies are purchased in advance by the client or added to POSSE's invoice if we do the personal shopping.
