PILES, FILES, LISTS—OH NO!

Written by Janet L. Hall


Continued from page 1

As you pick up each piece of paper or item you are sorting, ask yourselfrepparttar following questions, and PLEASE, be honest with yourself:

WHO does this belong to? WHO needs this?

WHAT use is this? WHAT do I need it for?

WHEN will I need this? WHEN will I use it?

WHERE will I find this? WHERE does it belong?

WHY do I have this? WHY do I want this?

The TICKLER FILING SYSTEM (sorry, I don't know who developed this) is a dated filing system. The system consists of 43 folders: one for each month labeled January – December, and one for each day ofrepparttar 106296 month, labeled 1 - 31. This is where you will putrepparttar 106297 "action" piles fromrepparttar 106298 TEASERrepparttar 106299 last five minutes of your appointment with yourself. Don’t worry ifrepparttar 106300 piles are too big to fit into your tickler file. We’ll deal with that in a minute. Take each pile and decide on a date and time you will work on that action. Placerepparttar 106301 pile inrepparttar 106302 tickler and writerepparttar 106303 corresponding date and a time in your calendar with a little t in a circle. Keep this andrepparttar 106304 following appointments! If other items come into your office that will needrepparttar 106305 same action, such as enter business cards into your database; put those cards withrepparttar 106306 bundle you already have in your tickler.

Ifrepparttar 106307 pile is too large, place in a box or container, make a note of where you are storing it and slip that note/location into your tickler.

You can make a tickler file or buy one already made at most office supply stores (see http://www.overhall.com ickler_file.htm ). As you can see, this is an action-dated system. The purpose ofrepparttar 106308 system is to "tickle" you, and it's a place to storerepparttar 106309 information or work you have or need for a particular day and/or month. This is your one and only SAFE Place; where you would file such things as your dated follow up calls, airline tickets, vacation plans, meeting information, and bills. Its uses are endless!

Usingrepparttar 106310 5 W's of Organizing, a Teaser, and a "Tickle" daily will help you keep your desks, floors, and credenza free of paper clutter, and will give you more time to dorepparttar 106311 things that you want to do!
