The Organization Connection

Tip of the Month
July, 2009

I will often suggest this 'passive' method for organizing to clients if they are not sure how often they use something. Here's how: transfer the contents of a drawer (whether it's clothing, office supplies, or whatever) into a basket and write a note to yourself with a deadline date.

As you go through your daily activities, each time you use an item place it back into it's original home (or locate a better one). On your deadline date, anything that is remaining hasn't been used- time to let it go!

You need to organize your virtual desktop, too! Create a folder on your desktop- I labeled mine "Unused Icons-MM/YY" with the deadline date of my choosing. Move all of your shortcuts, files, folders, etc. into this folder.

Apply the same concept as above.
