When I was a young kid, in the summer my father would come home after a long day’s work and ask me, “What did you do today?” It was not meant, or at least I did not take it, as a greeting. He wanted to know. He wanted me to be accountable, to be productive.

With stay-home orders, people working from home and many without work, the question remains—what did you do today?

The paradigm of our worlds has shifted. We cannot predict when and if the old days will return. But, we can still be productive.

We have dusted, organized and cleaned our houses. Now we should get our business affairs in order.

Do you have a will, trust or plan for your estate?

Are you up to date with recent changes in employment law and your rights?

Are you current with the new rent deferral laws for residential as well as non-residential property?

Have you reviewed and applied for the loans and grants available to businesses?

Doing puzzles and reconnecting with family is important, but so is protecting your assets and income. If this all seems too pragmatic, I blame it on another father-son question. Many years ago, when I was contemplating a philosophy major, my father asked me, "How many philosophers can you find in the yellow pages?"
