OrganizeAction

I must say that the simplinst if organizing allows me to increase productivity, and keeps my mind free for other things.  I find I am less forgetful and can remember points that I would otherwise forget because I have so much on my mind.

This is not to say that I don’t have the extra tools necessary to make things work.  In later pages I will be detailing the tools I use to make organizing easier and I will be taking pictures of my work station to verify that organizing keeps things in perspective.

Organizing keeps you in control of your day.

Over the last 3 weeks, the system has been functioning quite well.  Given the 30 to 40 emails I receive a day, the system to move the emails from the In-box to the folders has allowed me to organize and process the emails.  There are a lot of emails that are duplicated due to the traffic of answering and “replying to all”.  This system will reduce that number, as you will scan and process the latest email; and disseminate the important from the less important.

This prevents the email overload many people face.  It puts you firmly in control.

Remember to review each folder, daily.

I have moved to a higher floor with a much better view.  I am in the process of organizing my work station and will report on any new efficiencies I can muster up.  Moving is great in that it is an opportunity to clean out all of the stuff you never need to reference.

Being a bit of a pack-rat I keep the papers I really don’t need.  I never reference most of the things I get and use the electronic copies of pdf’s.  With a new 22″ monitor, viewing pdf’s has become a lot better.  Space efficiency in a cubicle is also important.

Once I get things up and running I will delve into Outlook efficiency and desk efficiency.  This in no way is supposed to be the “be all, to end all” way to organize.
