Here is an example of one of her articles:
YOUR OFFICE - Creating Systems That Work
Files
Recently after working with a client I realized they had several systems and none of them worked. If the system you created last month or last year is not helping you maintain order in your office, use the steps below to get organized at work.
  1. Evaluate Existing System-Are you wasting time looking for items or spending money to purchase items you cannot find? Do you miss deadlines? If you answered yes then your existing system needs to be revamped.
  2. Plan New System-Observe colleagues that are organized to see what may work for you. Some suggestions: organizing documents in binders or having a designated place for project information. The goal is to develop a system that will help you easily retrieve information and files no matter where it is stored.
  3. Purge-Once the new system has been developed purge and shred documents and files no longer needed.
  4. Implement New System-Remember to clearly label, alphabetize and color code to easily retrieve items.
  5. Maintain System-Schedule time regularly to file information, 3 hole punch documents that are filed in binders and remove items from files that are to be archived or destroyed.
