So Instant Boss was one tool that I love–covered it in the last post. 

The other tool?  My personal Cheap-o laminator. 

I’m trying to run a predictable, repeatable business, right?  Creating from whole cloth the ability for people to get loans done in ten days, 100% of the time.  To do it, I have to keep religious track of my daily schedules.  Seeing something visually, physically, and in front of me is way better than seeing it on a Google Doc or Excel Sheet.  You can touch it–it’s more real.

But paper seems chintzy.  It wears out, it gets coffee spilled on it if it’s at or near my desk.  I need a quick way to track my work across several places each week and month, so I made:

Then I laminated it, and got some Expo Vis a Vis Markers.

I can see–instantly–where I need to blog, and what happens next.

All of my ‘deal’ folders have a laminated (and reusable) checklist so I can PHYSICALLY see what’s going on with them.  (Need title, oh, not all docs are in!)
