The Savvy Entrepreneur

I have 2 kids that are home sick today, so I have to make this a quick one. I just wanted to share with you a new resource I found yesterday. I’ve been searching long and hard, high and low for a shopping cart solution that works with PayPal and doesn’t cost an arm and [...]

As you know, I’m working through Step 2 of my Office Organization Venture — Contact Management (following Tracey Lawton‘s The Complete Office Organization System). If I’ve been a little quiet lately, it’s because I’m working long and hard hours on this one. This second step may prove to be the most time-consuming of all four, [...]

Being that I no longer had a desk to work on, with my entire business spread across the office floor, my husband and I decided to put the organization project in overdrive this weekend. We sent the kids to our parents and got crackin’. Friday night we came up with a floor plan and took [...]

On top of being more productive, the reason why I need to better organize my office is because I’ll be sharing office space with baby #3. Last week I posted items on Craigslist (items sold are crossed off): Large U-Shape Office Desk, $150 HP Officejet 7140xi All-in-One, $100 or best offer APC Back-UPS Pro 450, [...]

I setup my new Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus 750 GB External Hard Drive and couldn’t be happier. I can now remove the (usually ignored) recurring DVD file backup task reminder in MS Outlook. OK, so it’s not so much about actual office organization (it isn’t my stack of 7 DVD’s causing clutter in my office), [...]

Today’s installment of The Savvy Snippet is a little later than usual. That’s because I just got back from spending a long weekend in the Catskills of New York visiting my sister and her family. On Sunday, hubby and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary and we were treated to a weekend at Bob and [...]

Time to be honest with you. I’m being totally open here, which is really embarrassing… But enough is enough already. Despite repeated attempts, I just haven’t got a handle on the whole “office organization” thing on my own. Here’s what my office looks like today: Part of the problem is I’m running out of space [...]

In taking today’s snapshot, I caught my hubby, Fred, at my desk playing with his new toy, the Sansa e280 MP3 player (a sweet little device). As you can see, today my office is the least organized it has been all week, with my ‘stuff’ strewn a little all over the place. I gave myself [...]

It wasn’t easy keeping my end of the bargain today. All in all, I’m quite proud that I have at least been keeping my office neat-looking and my ‘stuff’ is not all over the place. But it’s still not organized. Tomorrow marks the last day of this self-imposed challenge, and I’ll be glad when it’s [...]

This is gonna be a quick post. Here’s today’s picture of my office. The bad news is, I’m not making as much progress as I would like. The good news is it’s not getting any worse. With everything going on this week, I have yet to read Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity. [...]

[I was so busy today, I didn't have a chance to write an Anti-Procrastination Month post. It's 11:41pm and I'm, only now, posting my accountability picture of the day.] Compared to yesterday, not much has been done to organize my work space. To be fair, I was in my office for maybe a total of [...]

As you know, this week I’m concentrating on organizing my office. I’ve put this off for… let’s say…. a few years. I don’t have a system in place, so I file stuff a little all over the place. I have 3 notebooks — I’ll write in whichever one is close at hand, so my notes [...]
