Organizing Your Office and Files
As we enter into another year, perhaps you’re thinking this will be the year you finally get yourself and your life organized. An excellent first step would include starting with your files.
Having and using a proper filing system may sound like a trivial feature – or one that’s boring to create and utilize, but you would be amazed at how much better it feels to be able to find any paperwork you need exactly when you need it, and to have a clean workspace without piles of unsorted papers on it!
Setting up Your Filing System
If you don’t already have some sort of filing system (for your work and your home or personal affairs), now is the ideal time to start. All you’ll need is a simple filing cabinet (you can use a cardboard banker’s box to start with, if you’re on a tight budget), a pack of file folders (preferably with 3 different tab positions, in assorted colors), and a pack of hanging files (if you go with the file cabinet option rather than the filing box).
