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
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 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

Quick Tips

If you work from your car, set it up as a functional office with storage and office supplies like a desk.
Create a mobile file system to transfer documents safely between your car and office.
Never plan every minute of your day – add buffer time to your day for the unexpected tasks that pop up.
When organizing your paper files, avoid labels like “miscellaneous” and “random.”  You’ll encounter difficulties finding them later.
Use cloud services as a convenient way to access all your information while you’re on-the-go, through your laptop or your phone.
Use unexpected free time wisely – while waiting in line or sitting in traffic, have a list of things you can do then.
Create a system for processing business cards you receive. Try delegating the data entry portion of the task to an assistant or intern.
Schedule a time/date to file and clean your files (weekly or bi-monthly).
For each task on your to-do list, add its estimated completion time. This gives you a realistic view of everything on your plate for the day.
When downloading an image or file, make sure to save it in a specific folder rather than to your desktop.
