We resolve that expenses will get entered as they occur this year. <em>This</em> year, we&#8217;re going to stay on top of things.
<p>And then one day we turn around&#8230; Man! Where did that pile of receipts and statements come from?
<p>And perhaps the more important question is: How long will it take before the whole mess is cleared out?
<p>Wouldn&#8217;t you love to drop it off somewhere, and it all comes back organized and in order? And perhaps someone could even put it into your company&#8217;s books for you?
<p>Ah, but the dream is at hand. Why not give me a call at the <strong>Detour Services</strong> office? I am an Intuit certified <em>QuickBooks User</em>. Microsoft Excel is my favorite of the MS Office programs, and I really do enjoy putting things in order. I can help you keep your business resolutions.</p>

<p>The theme is about opportunity cost, but the analogy makes it easy to understand. Give up the tasks that others can do for you so you can focus on the things that only you can accomplish.</p>
