Tax Reform in This Election Year: It's Not Likely
Which Credit Card Rewards Does the IRS Care About?
As you gear up your business for 2008, I'm sure you have lots of good ideas. But there is something that is often ignored – getting organized. And with the explosion of email and digital media, being organized is getting even tougher.
To help things out, I had a chance to interview Monica Ricci, the author of Organize Your Office In No Time
Ricci's core filing system is called F.A.I.T.H, which involves:
File It: If something requires filing, then file it now.
Act: Have an action file for your recurring tasks.
In Progress: This is a file for things that don't fit in a category. Examples: invitation to an event, plane tickets, directions to a client location, or even a birthday card.
Toss: Don't be a pack rack.
Hand Off: Maybe something will be useful for a colleague?
"Everyone should set aside time once a month to sort and slim the files," said Ricci. "Put the date in your planner for one hour on the last Friday of every month."
