Don’t stockpile stacks of paper. always put things back where you intend on storing them for easy retrieval in the future.
Plan Your Day Everyday Plan your tomorrow today and always stick to the plan. Keep a calendar or daily planner so you can pre-plan meetings, tasks and appointments. Use your calendar or daily planner to check off each task as they accomplished. Schedule blocks of time for specific tasks. Plan a clean up day at least once a month.
Don’t Procrastinate Always address any task that can be done immediately first. Follow-up on tasks as needed on the day you specified. Get ahead of tasks when time permits and reward yourself for your diligence.
Reduce Paper Keep a trash container handy. Throw away envelopes and junk mail immediately. Limit unnecessary subscriptions. Remove your name from mailing lists* Use e-mail and online resources as much as possible. Print only when needed. Incorporate the three “R” rule: Reduce, Recycle, Reuse when possible.
