The Women’s Book Columbus Area Calendar Postings for Week of February 1, 2010

Are papers running your life, both at home and the office? Finding a solution and taking action steps daily to tame this paper giant will eliminate stress and keep you on a healthy track. Here are some simple tips to respond to paper overload:

R A P I D:

Read through all information and determine if it’s for you.

Attend to Papers Immediately-sort through mail and documents as soon as you receive them. Bringing papers in and tossing them somewhere to sort later will only compound the project. Try to handle things only once.

Plan for Action When Necessary-have a folder handy for weekly “to do” action items that need taken care of.

Important Papers need Action Immediately. If there are papers that others are waiting for or that need immediate attention with a signature, sign it immediately and continue on with the document’s process. This will help maintain efficiency.

Dump and Shred papers that aren’t important. Shred those excess paper pounds in your homes and offices by daily eliminating unnecessary and unwanted paper.
