Today is a scary project – more so for women than men.
Ready?
When was the last time you took everything out of your wallet, briefcase or purse?
Eeeekkkkk!!!
If I gave you $50 to identify every item in your briefcase or purse, could you get them all? Sorry, to get your hopes up there. I’m not really going to give you $50 even if you do know. I’m making a point – do you actually know every item that is in there and where it is?
So … when was the last time you took everything out and organized it?
-
Got rid of the useless stuff (gum wrappers, old receipts, earring without partner, crumpled tie; unidentified food scraps …)
-
Especially for married women – get rid of all the stuff your husband has you carrying for him because he only carries a small wallet. Guess why he only needs a small wallet – because he has a ‘pack animal’ along that carries all his junk. Don’t tolerate that nonsense. Let him get his own purse.
-
The same goes for the children – you are not their courier service. You wouldn’t believe how much stuff you will accumulate if you allow the children to give you things to carry for them. They’re smart little weasels and they learn this trick very early in life. Keep an eye out for it.

Fashion tip for the ladies here. A small purse is much more complementary to your figure, your style and your accessorizing than a huge, overloaded burden ripping your shoulder out of its socket and bumping against your hip making your butt appear larger than reality. Not a pretty sight! Hint: Ask Jennifer for advice here.
-
checked that the information in your wallet was up-to-date and valid
-
cut up and destroyed old credit and membership cards
-
organized the wallet itself
-
organized the entire briefcase or purse
-
do you actually utilize all the little compartments within the purse or briefcase? They are there for a reason and, when put to good use, are very efficient.
Take time this weekend – when the course is over and you’re sitting down recuperating – to go through your purse or briefcase. You’ll be glad you did – you’ll feel lighter physically and emotionally. Try it and find out for yourself.
