My car insurance was due yesterday. About a month ago, ICBC kindly sent me my reminder notice in the mail. Normally I would enter the date into my calendar and be done with it. Three days before the due date, my calendar alarm would remind me that my car insurance was due... but this year, I took a moment first to read the form. I would say probably 95% of my clients struggle with their paperwork. Deadlines are missed, payments are late and events come and go because people just can't seem to stay on top of their flow of paperwork in and out of their lives. I know we all complain about the high cost of insuring a car in this town, but I had to smile when I read the fine print on my reminder notice and realized that some of that money was going to helping us all stay organized. Right near the bottom of the page in fine print, it read: Don't let this disappear under a pile of paperwork. Cut out the slip below (had the renewal date on it) and stick it on your fridge. The moral of the story: read the fine print (it might help you to remember to pay your car insurance)!
