About Stephanie: the Monthly Moment
MONTHLY MOMENT
NOVEMBER 2026
Organization, the 5 "WHY"s, a New Service, and Friday the 13th Fun Facts
Monthly moments give you usable takeaways, quick refreshes, and exciting highlights.
CHAPTER 01 / The Small Effort
Organize Just ONE (1) Thing
Let's be honest, this usually starts with our desks and papers. We're bouncing around, and—if you're like me—your desk is "organized"...as in you might be able to find something, but others can't.
It's time to take a break and organize one thing: your desk / phone / emails, a process or procedure doc, your website, one category of tags in your CRM—anything.
Pick just one for the week. You'll be amazed at how much space it opens up in your brain for other things.
CHAPTER 02 / Actionable Tip
Asking "WHY" 5x gets to the real issue...not the superficial / daily one
"I need help!"
We've all said it. We've all needed it. And we've all had someone ask us "Why?". We give them an answer, and we think we're ready to start. We're wrong.
That first "Why?" only highlights the most immediate problem, the superficial problem, and that's not the one that needs solving.
WHY 1 - highlights the superficial problem and the most annoying and real pain, but it's not the real issue
WHY 2 - starts creating a chain of "because" that you need
WHY 3 - likely showcases a whole new area of concern
WHY 4 / 5 - shows the real pain point, the real issue, and the underlying problem that needs fixing for the superficial annoyance to be solved.
So, next time you have a problem or are helping someone with theirs, use the 5-WHYs to help you get to the real heart of the issue and tackle the real problem.
CHAPTER 03 / Updates
I'm adding "Real Estate Agent" to my services in 2027
Local to Charlotte and need (or know someone who needs) a real estate agent? Let's connect.
I've built two homes, rented two homes, and renovated two homes so adding "agent" seemed like a no-brainer. You deserve the whole experience in one-stop.
Whether you're buying or selling your current, second, or even rental property, or wanting to renovate-to-sell or buy-and-renovate, I can help.
Look forward to being of service!
CHAPTER 04 / Fun Facts
November is the 3rd month this year with a Friday the 13th!
Fun Facts:
Three Friday the 13th-s is the most you can have in a year, and this is the 3rd for 2026.
The next three Friday the 13th-s won't happen until 2037
Lucy from Peanuts taught us that "fear of the number 13" is called "triskaidekaphobia".
So, if you have any Friday the 13th traditions, you'll get to enjoy them for a third time this year.
