February 10, 2006 - Trying to Organize Your Paperwork from Last Year??? |
Here's an excerpt from a newsletter I receive, with my own quotes inserted.
1. Don't top it. Never put a large sheet of paper over
a small sheet of paper.
The small piece of paper will be
hidden, and therefore difficult to find
and/or easy to
misplace.
2. Banish piles. It is extremely difficult to
find a
particular sheet of paper in a large pile. Avoid piling
papers at
all costs. Sort and file them into file folders,
and put those folders in a
filing cabinet or hanging file
holder.
THIS IS SOMETHING I NEED TO WORK ON...I HAVE LOTS OF "PILES".
3. Keep it together. While
sticky notes are OK for
quick temporary notes that you discard fairly soon
after
using them, they're not effective for notes you need to
retain. If
your environment is overrun with sticky notes,
write your notes in a single
spiral notebook instead.
You'll still have to transfer these notes to your
planner,
PDA, address book, etc., but at least all of your notes
will be
in one single place where you can find them.
4. Open and dump. Open your
mail right over your recycle
container. Immediately discard outside
envelopes, inserts
you don't need and any other mail you're not
interested
in. Do this daily, and going through the mail will never
be a
chore again.
I HAVE MY TRASHCAN BELOW OUR MAIL TABLE. IT IS A GREAT FEELING TO THROW AWAY ALL THAT TRASH :-)

| Although the virtues of banishing piles is preached from every organizational soapbox, I have discovered that some of us are simply vertical filers. My piles are organized and in order and I can find any paper I need -- given enough time. Now if only someone would start marketing TRULY vertical files for us woefully vertical filers so that the cats or the kids or the sudden gusts of wind won't keep tipping them over, sending the dust flying! Something like an old-fashioned music cabinet might work.... |
