It was ‘proven’ recently that a cluttered office added 5 years to your life. I need help organizing all; help.
But, on another program it was shown that 90% of Fortune 500 C.E.O’s had ‘floor files’ which in my small business I did, also. I found that with scores of projects going at the same time something important would fall through the cracks or, even worse, a new client would call and catch me off gaurd if I didn’t have his/her file in front of me in order to refresh my memory-I might forget their name, I was so busy.
Making a ‘goof’ could cost me a lot of money or at the least make me very embarrassed.
But what I have going on now is a complete disaster.
I work at home with a small recording studio in my office and I cannot find things that will bring in money. In one situation all that needs to be done is put together a fax cover sheet and send in some paper work to receive a 0 re-imbursement. It sits right in front of me and has for months. I need the money.
While I get this together top send in coould someone please help.

Buy a brand new file cabinet, folders and inserts.
Set up a long table to sort things. (Don’t do this during working hours, do it on a weekend or evenings).
Do a little at a time (15-30 min.) and then take a break
Have a big container and throw away anything that you don’t need.
As you sort, make a file and file in alphabetical order.
Don’t think of it as a chore, think of it as getting organized so you can work better.
Do it alone so you don’t have conflict. If someone else needs to know, go over it with them when you are done.
Listen to some music you enjoy while you are doing this.
Hope this helps.
