Simple Steps

Go digital!

Save your documents in electronic format whenever possible.

Then scan everything in paper format onto your computer that you really need or want to save.

Save either locally on your hard drive, in the “cloud” or on a back-up storage.

Minimize the storage of papers as much as possible.

Opt for electronic statements and invoices whenever you can.

Set aside time –  or ask an assistant if you are lucky enough to have one – to scan in old documents and agreements.

The result – You will free up enormous paper file storage space and make retrieval and sharing so much simpler.

Question everything, move forward, enjoy the journey.

Urgent vs Important

When you are planning your day, organizing the day’s tasks and deciding how your time should be used try creating two lists. One will be for urgent tasks and the other for important items.

Long-term goals and projects that are important, but not urgent should have a list of their own. Otherwise, the urgent or time-sensitive items can easily devour your entire day. This is how the often more important long-term items consistently get pushed to the bottom of the list.

Once you have the created two lists, try to set aside different time blocks to focus on each type of task.
