File table of contents - do you need one?

The writer suggested that you make a list of files in the order in which they appear in your cabinet and then attach it to the outside of your cabinet. The theory was that it […]

Unclutter your mind

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - One problem entrepreneurs rarely seem to have is a lack of ideas. We’re constantly thinking up new business ideas, ways to promote our products and services, and how to improve. Have you ever had too many ideas?

Put that thing back where it came from

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - It’s easy to lose track of things. You put something away and later you don’t have any idea where you put it. That happens a little more often than I’d like, especially after having kids. It’s a distraction issue.
If I am distracted when I put do something, I’ll have a harder time remembering […]

Don’t give in to the chaos

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - I’ll admit that after my trip to BlogHer, I am fighting the chaos and clutter beasts. The traveling - with a baby in tow - wore me out. And don’t tell anyone, but I haven’t even unpacked yet.
I know. So busted, right?
One of the things I want to do here is be honest […]

Starting where you left off

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - When you get back from traveling, you have to pick up where you left off with projects. And if it’s been more than a couple of days, it can be tough to remember what you last did.
One thing that helps me get back in mode is my notebook. I take copious notes […]

Early morning reminders

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - We recently discussed using Google calendar reminders to make sure you know what you’ve planned for your day. Marina brought up a good point: What if you have something to do at 6 a.m., but you get email reminders from Google at 5 a.m.?
I don’t always remember to check the next day’s schedule, […]

Getting back to the routine

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - Yesterday I mentioned staying organized while traveling. And now it’s back to the usual routines. Sort of.
It takes a day or two to get back into the swing. I have to catch up on email, regular mail, and all the other paperwork that running a business entails. And I’ll need to unpack, process […]
