Office Organization Tips

 

Did you know that the 3rd week of April is “Organize Your Files” week?

Here’s 7 quick tips to prepare for this upcoming holiday….. Send me your tips!

Office and home organization is an important step toward both releasing clutter and creating more time in one's hectic schedule.  In this information age, many of us receive thousands of emails a day as well as dozens of snail mail packages and papers. Before drowning in this information, experiment with these 7 simple tips for both paper and electronic posts.

 

7 tips for paper and electronic clutter:

1) Don't bring it in the house or office in the first place.

2) Once in the office, sort into three boxes/containers: TODAY, This week, later.

3) Release the need for paper.

4) Take on an On-Demand and Abundance mentality. 

5) Create email Message-Rules

6) Time-sensitize your in-box with "TODAY", "This week", "Later" action intentions.

7) Block time to review your email.
