(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - I stopped by the local bookstore today, to browse and see what’s new in the organizational and productivity arenas. And I was disappointed to find that there’s not a section specifically for our topic. If you want to find books on getting organized and managing your time, you’ll actually waste time trying to […]

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - Every Wednesday, I feature a real-live business owner who has a struggle with their office. Honestly, we all have them and there’s no shame in admitting it.
The fact is, life is full. There’s always more to do that you can actually accomlish, so those little niggles in your office are mostly ignored […]

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - Somebody mentioned the term “bride brain” a while back and I think it’s starting to set in. I’m getting married in T-minus 5 days and I can’t seem to keep my head on straight.

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - In the article about following up with contacts, Tammy made an interesting comment I’d like to respond to:
The [question] that comes to mind here is how to persist. I can’t seem to hold the course more than 3 months….that seems to be my cycle. How do we organize ourselves and keep on trooping […]

Tip #24: Find What Works for You

Tip #21: Use Client Codes
In our office, we assign each client or customer a number. Sometimes, it’s just a regular number, like 156 - sometimes, there’s a trailing number as well like 156.01. There is a method to our madness.

Tip #20: Consider Colored Paper
Everyone uses colored folders - even me. But what about colored paper?

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.
