My Pendaflex-Able Life

I have a new system for my portfolio that I carry to client assessments and to meetings.  The old system worked fine - except that I sometimes had several different papers in the folio and it got a little disorganized.  (I really hate that).  

I was searching Amazon and found the I-Organize system from Pendaflex.  I'm very excited about it!

The I-Organize system from Pendaflex.


My old portfolio.  In the left pocket were various papers and my business cards.  The right side held my notepad.
A look at all of the various papers stored in the left pocket of my portfolio.

This is what comes with the I-Organize starter kit.  1 media file,  1 envelope.

2 secure file folders and 1 clipboard.

All assembled. 
So far I am loving this system.  It took me maybe 10 minutes to set it up and transfer my papers into it.

I will be ordering at least two more secure file folders.  I'm going to use those the most with my various notes from meetings as well as flyer's for various workshops.

I'm losing the media file.  I've never had to carry a cd or floppy disk around for at least 2 years.    I'm also planning on storing my notepad in the left pocket.  It will stick up just a little but I think I can live with that.  If not - I will figure out another way.

What do you use for a portfolio?   What are you loving about it?

Change is uncomfortable - but gorgeous at the end.

Change is uncomfortable.  It makes me uneasy.  It's unsettling.   Have you ever felt the same? Change, for me, was also necessary.  Which is totally contradictory to what I just said, right? A few weeks ago, I was talking with my coach and sharing with her that I was feeling super uncomfortable.  I was somewhat aware that I was changing, but I wasn't giving it my undivided attention.   Carol, my coach, explained to me that I was feeling was completely normal.  And I knew it - but I didn't want to necessarily deal with it.  She asked me to embrace it.  Once I did, I got even more uncomfortable.  It was one of the worst feelings I've ever experienced.  It was difficult for me to make a decision.  Who am I?  Who am I changing into?  Do my old thoughts and ideas match who I am becoming?  How is this change going to change the way I present myself, work with clients, live my life? You know what? The moment I embraced who I was becoming, is the moment that everythi

Can you see your future?

I was coaching my client, Carolyn today.   She was stuck in a mindset of only seeing her present circumstances or even worse - the past.  She wasn't seeing her future .  Turns out, she never thought about it.   I asked her - W hat it would mean for your life once the paper piles are gone?  What it would mean for your life once the necessary repairs were made to the kitchen and bathroom?  What it would mean for your life once the dread, shame and weight off your shoulders was lifted?  She kept going back to how her home looked right now and the struggles she was faced.  She wasn't seeing her future.  But I was.  Carolyn is so close to having her home decluttered.  But she was still living in the past. I told her that I had a challenge for her.  I asked Carolyn if she would close her eyes and visualize what her home will look like when it is decluttered, when she can find what she needs and when the overwhelming tension has been lifted from her shoulders.  I heard a deep
