Bonds Are a 'Safe' Investment: A Big Lie Gets Even Bigger
Walmart's New Health Food Push: Is It Too Hard to Swallow?
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."
