New Project: pen at work! 

 
When your world is turned upside down, you often make unexpected discoveries of strength and resilience. This summer I discovered three things:

First, my most popular post How I work – Why I photograph my morning cup of coffee kept me going, and I don’t only mean all the caffeine I’ve consumed! (Though it helped.) Having the habit, the morning ritual, it helped me pause, focus, and reflect. Giving me the strength to make it through stressful days.

Second, having documentation is important for your business and your personal life. I had to build my mother’s medical history and attempt to get paperwork quickly from her former physicians. I built what I could as quickly as possible and worked with every doctor we met with to fill in as much of the puzzle as possible.

Third, I like creating order from this sort of chaos.

What does that mean?

I will teach and share the methodology I use to find order in that chaos known as life. There will be worksheets, tutorials, tools, and eventually workshops. Want personalized attention? Yes, I will continue to offer one-on-one consulting.

It’s a project of PennyWise Consulting, and I’m calling it pen at work: prioritize · evaluate · negotiate, a PEN is all you need.

Yes they are the client and it is their budget, but my business goal is to help each client find the practical and appropriate technology solution for their specific needs. Their surprise increases when they hear my response of “no” after learning that they arrived on their decision simply because their direct competitor or a business they think is highly successful uses it.
