Efficiency Through Organization
Experts suggest that the best way to use time more efficiently is to organize our tasks and our possessions. So, without taking any more of your time, here are some basic tips toward becoming more organized…
handling paper:
Separate paperwork into three piles: “Essential”, “Meaningful”, and
“Interesting” (everything else is trash). Put the “Interesting” pile
out of sight immediately. Review your “Essential” file and make a list
of the items by priority then get on with the “Essentials” as soon as
possible. Your objective is to be left with only the “Meaningful” pile
which you can save for leisure time. Then once a month, review the
“Interesting” pile to determine which can be purged and what can be
completed – or potentially moved to the “Meaningful” pile.
sorting stuff:
Try sorting room by room, using three large boxes labeled “Use”,
“Store” and “Dispose”. If there is an absolute and immediate use for
something, determine where it should be kept. If something is needed in
the future, then it should be stored away. Anything else should be
sold, given away or trashed immediately. Try to be realistic especially
when it comes to old clothing!
