Mindfulness Training
I have probably indicated that I HATE preparing our stuff for taxes each year. I have probably also admitted that I excel at procrastination – championship level, I might add – modestly, of course. :0)
Today is the day –
I have run out of even the most feeble excuses for not at least making the first pass at our stuff.
Our office is beginning to look as if a bomb exploded in here.
STEP 1 – I have gone through the ‘helpful packet’ our CPA provides. So I feel a BIT better about myself at the moment.
STEP 2 – I’m now slogging through our monthly receipts, grouping them according to categories. I’ve made it through 3 months so far.

STEP 3 – is going through our credit card and bank statements for pertinent information.
STEP 4 – is totalling the various categories.
STEP 5 – is putting the receipts where they belong in the ‘helpful packet’
STEP 6 – is waiting until we get our official Schwab statement – the thing that is the most important and always takes the longest to receive.
STEP 7 – is bagging it all up and driving to Fort Smith to dump it on our wonderful CPA.
My goal is to be finished with Steps 1-5 by the end of this month or before. I’m going to take a break now, but will return to do another session this afternoon after we eat some lunch.
Did I happen to mention I HATE tax prep? UGH!
