  • Paper Control! 8 Questions to Ask Before You Throw any Paper Away

    So, how many of you have experienced this:

    You walk into your office and you say to yourself, “Today is the day!” You are excited and you say, “I am going to get this place organized and I’m not leaving until it is done!”

    Then… you pick up the first piece of paper, look at it, say, “Hmm, well… I’ll look at that later.” and you put it down. You pick up the second piece of paper, look at it, say, “Oh geese!” and you put it down. The next thing you know, everything from the right side of your office has been moved to the left side of your office and you are tired and call it quits.

    Paper can be overwhelming, but it does not have to be! I have worked with a number of people that think that they will never be able to get through their piles.

  • Disorganization Equals STRESS!

    Have you ever had one of those days or weeks where nothing goes as you originally planned? Well, if you have, you are not alone.

    Studies have shown that people waste as much as 4.3 hours per week searching for papers.
