Did you know the average person spends 4 minutes per hour looking for something in their office…. the end result of 4 minutes per working hour is more than 3 weeks per year!

Here are a few tips to help you organize your papers.

1. Start with the kAos Group Core Four System to gather up all the loose papers and tasks. This is an incredible four step system that will allow you to organize the paper flow in your home or office.

2. Schedule 10-15 minutes at least 3 times each week to review the order of the office. What is out-of-place can be filed into one of the Core Four places.

3. Give mail and magazines a home until opened – mail can go into the To-Do pile and magazines can go into the To-Read pile.

4. Dispose of the sticky notes! Yup, you heard it and from a gal who loves sticky notes. They have a great purpose but not when our entire desk is littered with them.

Sticky Note tip:
If your sticky notes are ‘action’ items, schedule them in your calendar.

5. Keep your projects and monthly reference business materials in binders or magazine boxes on the shelf. It’s an excellent way to contain all information pertaining to a specific project while ensuring that it is handy (it looks good too).

The above steps will certainly assist you in managing the paper flow in your environment but the next step will be to organize your computer files so that you know where to find those word documents when you need them.
