Staying calm and organized

Money and paperwork problems are stressful. A simple routine makes them feel smaller.

  • Set one short time each week to work on it, instead of worrying about it every day.
  • Do the hardest call first, while you have the most energy.
  • Write down your next single step before you stop for the day.
  • Ask a trusted friend or family member to read important letters before you send them.
  • Celebrate small wins, like getting a reference number or a written answer.
