We've written post after post about using Stockpile to track your possessions. Today, we're talking to the teenagers. One of the biggest challenges a teen faces is convincing their parents how responsible they are. The rewards for achieving this goal can be numerous, borrowing the car keys, a later curfew, a credit card in your name. It's not always so easy to prove that you're responsible though. Just doing what you've always done is often expected. To really convince the parental units that you are "growing up" and becoming more responsible you need to go above and beyond what they expect. Stockpile simple home inventory solution can help.
Below we're going to talk about some of the biggest parental complaints and how you can use Stockpile to impress your parents.
- Lost items. Most parents groan when they hear the words, "I can't find my...." Anytime they hear that phrase they know that their teen or child is waiting for them to come help them find the missing item. Not only is there frustration at being interrupted there is also the worry that the item won't be found and will have to be replaced. If you use Stockpile to track your items you won't lose them as often. You can easily check Stockpile and see where they are supposed to be stored. That leads us to our next item.
- Cleanliness. We get it, you're busy. We were all teenagers not so very long ago ourselves. We remember rushing from one activity to the next leaving a trail of clothes and gear in our wake. The problem is that you do that for a day or two and suddenly your room is a wreck and you can't find anything when you need it. Take a day and organize your space. Assign places to store your stuff. It will impress your parents and help you stay organized no matter how crazy your schedule is. If you put things in the right place you'll always be able to find them. If you record those details in Stockpile it will be easy to pull up the info you need when you need it.
- Lack of notice. Little kids are reactive. They don't worry about something until it actually happens. They see that the toothpaste is running low but they don't say anything until they can't get anything out of the tube to brush their teeth. Being proactive and letting your parents know that you're about to need something replaced is a sign of maturity. If you track the items that you regularly use in Stockpile you can easily see when you are going to need something replaced. Plus, giving them advanced notice makes their lives easier since they can a plan a trip to the store rather than having to rush out. Trust us, your parents will definitely appreciate the heads up.
- No details. Vague answers don't work on tests and they usually don't thrill parents either. They don't like the noncommittal shrug and they don't like generic answers. "What did you do today?" "Stuff." Can you just see your dad's frown and hear your mom sighing? We can. When they are trying to buy something that you need they prefer more details as well. They often need to know what color, size, style. etc you need. The more details you can provide the more likely they are to buy the right thing the first time. If you enter details in your Stockpile item records you can easily pull up the information you need anytime from anywhere. Standing in the store, hanging out with friends, wherever you are you'll have the info that Mom or Dad wants and that is guaranteed to please them.
