Works For Me Wednesday Car Edition
My Mobile Office
I drive a gynormous Suburban and out of it flows the issues of my life. Literally. But one thing that truly works for me is having my bill paying center in the car.
I get very overwhelmed at home with cleaning, projects, etc. and am much too ADHD to complete a task such as checkbook balancing and bill paying at the house. I just can not focus! What I have found to be much more successful is keeping a bill folder in my car along with necessary envelopes, stamps, etc. Once a week or so, I go to Sonic drive in – cuz we love Sonic fruit slushies and they have the best ice in their drinks ever – stick a movie in the dvd player for my daughter (another must have for a vehicle) and write my bills out. I get teased about this but the job gets done start to finish….Should I apologize if it just flat out works for me?! :)
Shannon at Rocks In My Dryer hosts WFMW….Check out her blog for lots of other great ideas!
your blog is very beautiful, and you’re a very kindhearted.
welcome to my blog http://www.lilysweetroom.blogspot.com it is my first blog.
Thank you!
Very smart! The kids have fun, your bills get paid AND you get a reward for paying the bills…a nice cold slushie.
Great idea! I don’t have a child or a dvd player, but I certainly have time in the day when I am stuck somewhere or waiting on someone that I could do this.
Great ideas! I would definitely be more progressive at bill paying if I did this. I love your blog design too, it’s gorgeous. Thanks for sharing, have a great rest of the week! =)
Sounds like a great idea to me. Fewer distractions in the car than at home. Very smart.
Wow, I love this idea! I should really do this for work, since I work from home and one of the big things is to pay bills.
I drive a Suburban too, did yours come with a DVD player? I was thinking of having on added overhead but I think it would go where my rear a/c controls are – is that the same in yours?
I love your blog. Thank you for visiting mine…
My Mom did this for years [different restaurant, no kids/dvd] for all the bills and her work paperwork [social worker] She keeps telling me to try it [I ignore the bills] Maybe I’ll try this on boy scout night while my daughter plays on the play ground! Great suggestions! Love your blog–very nice!
Great idea, but what I really had to comment on was you affection for the awesome ice at sonic. I am so with you on that! In fact just last night after field hockey my 9 year old was sharing with her friends mommy about the fantastic ice at sonic and how it never melts! Between that and the slushes, our family is crazy for sonic!
Thanks so much for your comment:-) Since I am still figuring out blogging it is always a thrill to know someone stopped by!
Thanks!
Great idea! I wonder if it would be a bad thing if you strap them in the carseat, put on the dvd and take a nap??
Personally this sounds like an excellent idea…At home I get so scatter brained at times it is ridiculous and my sweet, wonderful hubby is a “piler”. I mean, he drops little piles here and there and then I have to try and pick them up… he’s a “walk and drop” kind of guy.
I really need to think about this one. Thanks!
that is a funny and SMART idea!
no apologies necessary! it’s a great tip.
and kudos for ordering the fruit slushie…i would SO be ordering a burger :-)
I think this could change a much-dreaded time for many into an enjoyable little thing. Great job!
What a GREAT excuse to get a Cherry Limeade every week!!! :)
Oh, to be near a Sonic again…ok I got a little sidetracked remembering how great those fruit slushies were.
I have been known to do a lot of reading, writing and other office work in my car. You are not alone!
What a fun idea! I’m sure I could think of more things to apply to this concept. Thanks for sharing!
any excuse to get a sonic drink is a good idea for me! my husband pays all the bills, so I’ll have to think of another excuse!
