I bring up this topic because long term projects are a part of […]

Generally speaking, the stuff on your desk is made up of projects in progress, things “to do” that aren’t urgent, and miscellaneous stuff you don’t have a home for. Beyond that, there are file cabinets and bookshelves and closets that […]

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - I felt figety and lost. Hungry, yes, but not exactly sure what to do with myself.
I was given an hour lunch break.
Little did I know that when I took a one-day-a-week job at my local SBDC, they would adhere to the federally mandated break policy. Duh! As a self-employed business owner, this […]

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - If one person’s said it, a thousand have. I’ve said it myself. Does this sound familiar to you?
“I’m really visual. If I can’t see something, I’ll forget all about it and it won’t get done.”
At its worst, people who are strongly visual end up piling things on their desks because they need to […]

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - If you think you should be able to get more done in a day, you’re right. But if you think that you have to work harder to accomplish more work, think again.
