TOP TIPS TO KEEP CLUTTER CONTAINED
- Spend 5 minutes DAILY to open mail: Throw envelopes away!
- Spend 5 minutes DAILY to file papers
- Spend 5 minutes DAILY to maintain: Put clothes, papers and stuff away
Many of my newer clients operate in pile crisis management mode - it’s not pretty or necessary. Here are a few things you can do TODAY to stop this insanity:
- Use a letter opener
- Invest in a shredder
- Spend a few minutes each day OPENING AND LOOKING at your mail
- THROW OUT envelopes unless they contain time sensitive and/or legal documents (don’t stuff papers back into the envelope)
- Shred and recycle what you don’t want immediately - make sure to shred or ‘black out’ address information
- Flatten papers
- Start file folders with the following headers
- Immediate Action
- To File
- To Do
- To Read
- Taxes
- Projects
- Credit card / Applications
Step Files and Polyview tabbed folders make a winning combination, and are my ABSOLUTE favorite and a ‘must have’ for my business clients. Important documents are right in front of you and with clearly marked printed labels, you’ll manage paper flow better. Don’t get stuck in a rut looking through clutter and papers in a stack. Keep your work in front of you - on the firing lines. Help@TheWorkOrganizer.com
