Remember your Loved Ones on their Important Dates
"We nourish the bodies of our children and friends and employees, but how seldom do we nourish their self-esteem? We provide them with roast beef and potatoes to build energy, but we neglect to give them kind words of appreciation that would sing in their memories for years like the music of the morning stars."
-- Dale Carnegie
You select and write your message; we print it, stuff it, stamp it, and send it in the mail for you!
Have you ever wanted to send a card to someone but forget to do it, or you simply didn't have time to do it? Sending a card to someone is not really a very big deal . . . but it sure can make a really big difference! People need to feel appreciated and when they are appreciated they are happier, they smile more, and their relationships are stronger. Writer Maya Angelou says it best, “People will forget what you said; people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
OrganizeMyCards.com provides individuals a way to send physical post cards and greeting cards without the regular hassles of going to the store and waiting in lines or searching for stamps. The tool allows you as an account holder to send paper and ink, high quality, greeting cards and postcards, in your own handwriting and under your own signature, from a web-based interface. Users simply enter the recipient’s information into the contact manager, select the card they want to send from the card catalogue, enter a personalized message and hit "send". OrganizeMyCards.com then prints, folds, stuffs, seals, addresses, stamps and sends the card through the U.S. Postal Service. The great thing is that there are personal and business applications all in one tool! You can use it for both. OrganizeMyCards.com has made the process so easy and cost effective (about 1/5 the cost of a standard greeting card); there is absolutely no excuse to ignore relationships.

- Complete household chores more quickly
- Run errands more efficiently
- Involve your children in household responsibilities
- Remember loved ones on birthdays, anniversaries, & holidays
Critical Personal Documentation
If you had to leave your home quickly, without any advance warning, would you have the time to collect your most important documents? (e.g. medical records, health insurance information, tax returns and bank statements, wills, trusts and estates, etc.) Do you even know where to find them? Calahan Solutions can help you sort, file, and store important personal information. Once your documents are in place, follow up with our Preparing My Loved Ones - Personal Documents service.
Physical Information/Paper Organizing
Today many families spend time running frantically from one activity to another, leaving schoolwork, mail, and newspapers in piles. We’ll help you devise systems so that everyone in your family will know where each paper item belongs. You’ll never misplace the cable bill again!
Electronic Filing Systems
Do you spend too much time on the computer looking for files because you can't remember what they’re called or where they’re saved? Are all your e-mails jumbled together in one folder? We'll help set things straight by developing a customized electronic filing system for your documents, pictures, music, and e-mails. Learn simple solutions (based on your level of technical know-how) to streamline electronic filing systems so you can find important files in an instant.
If you are interested in this service, you may also be interested in our Electronic Scrapbooking.

Be more productive by arranging your home office to suit your needs. Designate storage space for disks and CDs, software packages and manuals, paper and electronic files, and other equipment and supplies. Whether surfing the net or paying bills, your desk will be a pleasure to visit.

Note: Back on Track services require a six-month minimum consulting period.
