Tip #20: Consider Colored Paper
Everyone uses colored folders - even me. But what about colored paper?
I’m not saying that your files have to be a giant rainbow - that’s distracting and who can remember all of your codes anyhow? But using colored paper to set important information apart can be smart.

Tip #19: Buy a Shredder
Long before we moved into our building, our neighbors found an interesting pile of boxes outside on the curb, put out for the trash. They were patients’ medical records from the prior tenant, a doctor who had moved on.
My guess is that the doctor did what most businesses did: […]
Tip #13: Get a Separate Fax Line
This is another one of those time value of money tips.
When we first started our business, we had one phone line. We didn’t think we needed another. We were wrong.

Tip #5: Create Email Folders

I commented on the post then - and I stand […]
Tip #4: Send Holiday Cards in March.
Or April. Or July.
There’s no rule that you have to send holiday cards just for Christmas and Hanukkah or just in December. In fact, since many small businesses are busiest at year end, sending those cards out can be time-consuming and stressful. And, with so […]
Tip #3: Get Some Sleep.
In law school, it seemed like lack of sleep was a competition. If you slept only a little, it was somehow indicative of the fact that you were up all night studying like mad (which, c’mon, we knew wasn’t true). The more tired you were during the day, the […]
Tip #2: Invest in a hands free cell phone.
Wait, don’t go all nuts on me. I’m not even remotely suggesting that you dial and drive. I don’t use my cell phone while driving and I don’t think you should either (so there).
