A professional is someone who
can do his best work when he doesn't feel like it. - Alistair Cooke
If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should
sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or
Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of
heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did
his job well. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Self-knowledge is the great power by which we
comprehend and control our lives. - Vernon Howard |

Easy Ways to Get Organized in Your Office
 (ARA)
- Here's a statistic that will startle you into action. According to a
recent Office Depot survey, the average business professional loses 90 hours
a year -- or more than one full workweek -- due to disorganization.
Thankfully, there's a solution to help you deal with the overflowing piles
and outdated files. It is an easy-to-accomplish five-day office makeover
plan that has been developed by organizing expert Stephanie Winston and
Office Depot. Best of all, it's sweat-free, and doesn't require any heavy
lifting.
"All it takes is a few clear-cut systems and a dose of consistency to trim
your in-box and perform a 'nip and tuck' on the ever-bulging files in your
office," says Winston. By following her advice and the simple solutions in
the Office Depot Five-Day Office Makeover Plan, anyone can maintain an
orderly workspace. Highlights include:
* Toss It -- Get organized by tossing unneeded papers. To help keep
confidential information private, protect your information by shredding
sensitive paperwork. Winston recommends using a shredder like the Ativa
diamond-cut shredder because it shreds documents, credit cards and CDs into
tiny, unusable pieces.
* Create a Master To-Do List -- Winston suggests creating a centralized,
master to-do list each week, from which you can pull 10 to 12 daily tasks.
Carry your list in a portable organizer so action items can be added and
crossed off upon completion. Look for the At-A-Glance Outlink Planner that
comes with a pull-out plastic slide to hold printed Outlook schedules.
* Organize Your Files -- To group related files together, Winston suggests
creating broad file names versus very specific titles. For example, if
"Acquisition Targets" is the general title, then label each manila folder
with the individual company names. To see file names at a glance, Winston
likes Super Tab Smead file folders that have a 90 percent larger tab for
more writing space.
* Less Taxing Taxes -- Start tax preparation early to eliminate last minute
tax filing stress. You should store receipts, W2s and interest statements in
a single place to prepare for tax filing. To assist individuals who prepare
tax returns personally, look for products like TurboTax that can guide you
through the proper steps of tax preparation.
* Log Expenses Regularly -- Seasoned road warriors are vigilant about
recording every expense. "When on a trip, it's easy to forget little
expenses such as morning coffee or a service tip," says Winston. She
recommends carrying an envelope to store all travel-related expenses.
