I am able to accomplish more, in less time. When I work in my home office, I’m not distracted by piles of paper all around me. I am able to proudly show off my work space now! Angela Shen
I can’t tell you how accomplished I feel today. Even when someone came to me with an “emergency” project, I noted that on my calendar. I know that I can use that information to help people better schedule time with me to get these projects done.Erin George, Real Change News
Very illuminating going over my weekly review checklist and realizing that the parts of the work I dread doing are the things I don’t have systems and structure for… I can see already that this is going to be a big help, and wish I’d gotten started sooner! I’m feeling optimistic, and looking forward to solving the problem(s) and getting my time more focused on the patient work I love to do!Dr. Deborah E., ND
I loved your presentation of Email Organizing 101. The presentation was clear and informative, and you offered wonderful tips to make our busy lives easier. I already implemented some of your recommendations, and have no remaining emails at the end of the day in my inbox. Also, you have a great sense of humor, so like everyone else, I truly enjoyed my time there. Time and money well-spent.Jennifer S., Merrill Lynch
The one-on-one attention I got from Elizabeth helped me identify problem areas and prioritize changes to become more streamlined and organized.  Replacing old habits with new ones is challenging but extremely rewarding! Thanks again, Elizabeth!Eliott P., Event Services Manager

Quick Tips

Create a mobile file system to transfer documents safely between your car and office.
For large, time-consuming tasks, break them down into smaller sub-tasks and spread them out over the day or week.
Create a set of email policies for your small business so everyone’s on the same page when it comes to writing and sending emails.
Start prioritizing your tasks to ensure you spend your time and energy doing what is important.
Just because your email comes to your phone, you don’t need to respond immediately. Schedule specific times to check email.
Share part of your inbox with your assistant so you can efficiently delegate email responses to your assistant.
When someone gives you a business card, make notes on the back to jog your memory later. Notes might include when you met, what you discussed, potential relationship, etc.
When organizing your office, imagine a semi‐circle around you when you sit at your desk. Place the supplies you use most often inside this space so they will always be within reach when needed.
When organizing your paper files, avoid labels like “miscellaneous” and “random.”  You’ll encounter difficulties finding them later.
Try setting time limits for tasks that easily eat away your day, like responding to email or checking Facebook.
