Organizational Strategy #2

Never touch a piece of paper more than once (in some cases this may be impossible but if you practice this as much as possible you will end up saving yourself a lot of time and may naturally start to avoid procrastinating).

Organizational Strategies

Sometimes just thinking about getting organized is overwhelming. What do you start with first? Computer files? Photographs? Closets? Your office? There are so many places to start and so many steps to take -- but even taking that one step can help tremendously. There are many strategies to use to get organized. Some we've heard along the way and many we have used ourselves. In the upcoming months we will be sharing our tips with you. Here is the first one:

Always keep daily items in the same place. Keys, wallets, sunglasses and anything else you take with you every day. Use a bowl or a valet that sits near your door. By creating a routine for these easy to lose items you will lose them less often and will save yourself time. Being more organized at the start of your day will lead you to a more productive day with less stress.
