A simple day planner for calls, claim numbers and contacts.

Daily Wins
A place to note one small win at the end of each day.
Recovering from a fire is a long, messy project. There are calls to the insurer, claim numbers, lists of what was lost, contractors, temporary housing and the hundred small decisions that come with each of them. The U.S. Fire Administration publishes a checklist of what to do after a fire, and almost every item on it generates more items.
A journal can’t do the paperwork for you, but it can hold it. A master list that breaks into monthly priorities and then daily tasks keeps the whole thing from living in your head. Noting one small win at the end of each day, even “called the adjuster back”, makes slow progress visible.
