| When I first started working with Karin, I did love the excitement and gratification of making the sale and closing the deal, but never seemed to have time to focus on my longer-term marketing strategies. I'm not sure what I was doing with my days... Now, the majority of my day is spent on marketing! Karin was able to help me completely overhaul the way I
organized my day and my work in all aspects. By managing some of my
tasks more efficiently and effectively, I now am able to find all the
time that I need for marketing, and it has already paid off.
Thanks
to Karin, I was also able to fully enjoy my vacation for the first time
in my career. I may have checked my email twice at the most during my
stay, and only for a few minutes, more out of concern than need. When I
got back, it took me just a couple of hours to be completely up to
date. I would have never become so effective - and been able to spend
such relaxing vacation, if it weren't for my sessions with Daily
Mastery!

Karin
has been instrumental in helping me become not only more
efficient but also more balanced. She gave me new tools to work with on
a daily basis that helped me to gradually change my habits so
that I could begin to meet and exceed my career, personal and
family goals and expectations without running myself into the
ground. As a result, my family, friends and colleagues have
noticed that I am extremely productive while at the same time, calmer,
less stressed and happier. If you are serious and
dedicated to making your life work, Karin can definitely show you the
way. She is quick to recognize the areas
where you need work and helps you address
them in a kind, gentle and supportive
manner.

From
the first phone call I had with you I started to see big changes. At
first I wasn't very motivated to do some of the groundwork, such as
making a time map, but felt accountable to you and did it. Immediately
that tool brought order and happiness into my life when I was finally
able to see the "big picture." You taught me that I could have a
workable routine without becoming a slave to it. After you visited my
house I implemented your suggestions about storage, zones adn getting
my children involved. The house is now a joy to live in. The advice you
gave me regarding travel was invaluable! Every time we spoke I felt
like I'd just read a whole book on organizing, and since the advice was
tailor-made for me, I saw big results immediately.

Karin's
real,
concrete steps are a soothing balm
to my unpredictable
life as a freelance writer. I was able to take her suggestions into a
difficult situation with one of my children and mounting deadlines, and
get immediate results - and the relief needed to get the job
done.

Meeting
Karin was
truly fate! At the time I began working with Karin, I was working over
12-hour days and also working on weekends, which had quite a toll on my
personal life. Two years after beginning my own business, my work-life
balance was out of sorts and I was facing burn-out. I was beginning to
resent the business and career that I had once loved, because I
couldn’t keep a better schedule. Karin really helped me to
see the value in my personal time. She helped me point out the places
where I was over doing it and also helped me see how I could benefit by
paying more attention to my personal life. I was able to put her
suggestions into practice immediately, using tools and techniques to
first see what was really on my plate and then to prioritize my
personal responsibilities and my work responsibilities. I learned that
my internal clock was way off and I re-learned how to better estimate
time, which in turn helped me to keep a better schedule and keep my
deadlines with clients. Overall I am happier, my clients are happier,
and even my friends and family have commented on how much more relaxed
I seem. By focusing more time on personal responsibilities and my
personal life, I am a much happier person and a much more efficient
worker. Karin was wonderful to work with and her expertise was truly
welcomed!

My
work life is
similar to a hospital. Each day
in real estate there are regularly scheduled appointments such as open
houses, meetings, mailings and following up with buyers and sellers.
However, each day also brings emergencies - new phone calls from
buyers, negotiations, an invitation to see a new apartment, a call for
help from a colleague. It's easy to neglect or postpone the mailings
and other things that build business in favor of responding to
emergencies or new opportunities. I don't know how I managed
for
so long without you. Now, I can find the things I need faster; I can do
more because I now have a system to help me avoid spending too much
time on any one thing; I have time to tackle the projects to help me
grow my business, and that used to get repeatedly postponed; I have a
system to make sure that I don't forget anything.
I know when it's working: the knot in my stomach loosens and things
that I've been postponing finally get done! Many knots have loosened
thanks to you!

I
have learned
SOO much out of working with Karin.
The new ideas and
techniques I have come away with have been tremendously helpful, and I
no longer feel so overwhelmed with my "mess". I actually know what to
do with everything, and when to do it, instead of 're-organizing' the
chaos, so to speak. I now have much more free time and much less
stress. Thank you so much, Karin, for everything you've done for
me.

I think that the Daily Time
Mastery Program is amazing. Before the program, I
was in a pretty good place. I was successfully using some
tools to help manage my household, which includes
three very active children and the avalanche of
papers they bring home each night. I'm also active
in several volunteer groups and had stopped missing
deadlines. But I found that if a task didn't have a deadline,
and wasn't neccesary to get through my day, it fell through
the cracks. Basically, I was reacting to my life instead of
living it, and it was very frustrating. The Daily Time
Mastery Program gave me the priniciples and tools to start shaping my
life to reflect what was important to me. I loved the fact
that immediately after each call I started reaping benefits; the
principles were easy to apply. I think that everyone
will benefit from this program, no matter how disorganized or
organized they currently are. This was a
good value since so much was included: fabulous tools, interactive
calls, one-on-one sessions, and follow-up notes and access to the
recordings. I highly reccommend this program.
(P.S. Before this program I'd been procrastinating for months
about hanging pictures on my daughters' bedroom wall. After
the program I managed to paint my entire living room, and put
everything back, including hanging a large amount of artwork.
That task was done start to finish in less than 5 days.)

The
Daily
Time Mastery Program with Karin was EXCELLENT! Before the
program my time was very unorganized and I was not able to efficiently
prioritize tasks. My day seemed to slip by without accomplishing
anything. Now, thanks to Karin, I know how to organize my time and
prioritize tasks. I have more control of my time during the day and
know how to manage it. The program was so simple and easy to
understand. I learned so much from it. It was the best!

I
took both
the Daily Time Mastery and the Daily Paper Mastery
programs, and I loved them! I had read books, and even gone to a couple
of classes on organizing and time management, without result. Those
programs worked! My desk used to be a mess, it's now clean, and my
schedule is managed, manageable and I feel so much better. I'm so happy
I took them. I think Karin is a God's send.

Thanks so much for the
lecture - I did actually
implement two of the ideas we discussed. It was really enlightening to
discover how many tasks I gravitate toward that areNot Urgent/Not
Important! It's been helpful in changing this pattern to give
each task a label because when I label something Urgent/Important, then
I tend to procrastinate less. I've also reduced my interruptions quite
drastically, and you were right, many things resolve themselves on
their own. It's great to finish things for a change.

I have implemented
the Right Brain approach for papers (I found I am right brain
dominant). I had done some of it that way,
but now I have all my records filed with her suggestions for
me in mind. It has made it easier to find things during this
tax season. I am looking forward to taking other classes.
She has a lot to offer and is fun to work
with!

Recently
I did two of Karin
Stewart’s tele-seminars.
Now I should tell you that I’ve
never been a very organized person: no to-do list, no in or out box,
just papers in random piles all over the place and me feeling like I
don’t know what to do next, and usually stressing out about
getting all my work done for the day.
So you can see why I was intrigued enough by
the names of her classes to try them.
I spent 3 hours on the phone with Karin and
really listened to her philosophy on structuring your day and paper
organization. I was
fascinated by the depth of her knowledge and her ability to make using
her systems EASY! Since
working with her I now have a daily to-do list which helps me to
prioritize at work and a paper management system that I actually LIKE
to use and that really works for me.
Karin’s ability to personalize her
systems is one of her greatest strengths. I know that I can do this
because she took the time to find out about who I am and how I work, so
that her recommendations were the right ones for me.
I highly recommend her for any person who
wants to live their live with greater ease and less stress. I look forward to working
with her again.

Thank
you so much for your wonderful
contribution! The information you provided today was
invaluable. I loved how you were able to listen to the
personal
needs of
the people in the room, and so masterfully answer their
questions. I
couldn’t believe that in one hour you could provide people a
clear
structure to better manage their time (I LOVE the Master Schedule
concept), a
great system to not underestimate time needed to complete and action,
and a
brilliant and simple method of making every moment of your day
count.
I can’t thank you enough!

Vibe-Rheymer-Stewart's presentation was
clear and
well-paced. she tailored her presentation to the audience's needs, and
addressed every time management issue they raised with very informative
examples. Most of all, the participants received tools they can start
using today to improve their lives and the way they manage their time.
Thank you!

Karin helped us set up an eBay store
for our
business, and develop a strategy to use it in the best way possible.
When I moved away, she also developed for me all the tools that allow
me to manage the physical store from afar. I don't know what I would
have done without her!

Karin
came to fix the
dysfunctions that kept
happening in my company, losing me a lot of money in inventory
shrinkage, inventory doubles, delays in work done, etc. Very quickly,
she zeroed in on the elements that caused us trouble, and with very
simple fixes - regular meetings, checklists, clear accountability
points - she made my operation much more effective.
Today,
we don't buy doubles of something anymore,
no job falls through
the cracks until the client calls for an update, and the jobs are of
much more consistent quality.
And
my people are happier - I scream a lot less.

After
a single 3-hour seminar by Daily Mastery, my staff completed cases 10%
faster. That allows us to take care of 50 more people every month. Her
operational consulting allowed us to find inefficiencies in our
processes and correct them, resulting in an extra 10% productivity
increase, and much less time lost to misplaced papers.
