Get organized in '08

Schedule to totally clean up your office.


Take everything off your desk and set things on the floor.
Throw away any piece of paper that you haven't touched for a month.
Go through your "in" basket and distribute everything you can.
Easy rule- touch a paper only once.
Recycle print media that you will never use.
Clean out your filing cabinets.
Get calendar smart. Put a new calendar where you will see it daily.
Get list smart. Keep a pad of paper on your desk and when you start your day, make out your list.

Sort through your mail. Immediately through away what you deem as 'junk'.

Schedule a specific and consistent time in your week to do the things that you have to do- such as pay bills. .
