Tips for
Document Filing and Archiving
Document archiving:
Closed client files can be archived by simply stapling them together
on the right center of the group of pages. Label it with the client
name last, then first name and date. File in your inactive client
files.
Document labeling:
Place the category and date in the upper right corner of documents to
be filed. Once your business is to a point of hiring an assistant, the
habit will pay off ten fold.

Testimonial
Who would have ever thought organizing could be fun?
I didn’t even want to think about [organizing]. I had just moved,
everything was still in boxes. Don’t ask me which ones…and don’t ask
me how many times I went through all those boxes (25 to be exact)
before finding what I was looking for. And what about all the stuff
piling up on my desk, kitchen counter, and dining room table? Hey, I
need that stuff!
Just turn it over
to Valerie the little voice said…Valerie of A to Z Organizing Pros®. How she came
to us, I don’t know. Maybe she possesses a homing device that targets
the hopelessly dazed and disorganized.
Valerie makes organizing fun. This “super” woman is undaunted
by any mound of paperwork and can leap over tall boxes in a single
bound. Lets not forget her insatiable grin. This is a work together
kind of deal.
“That way you’ll know where everything is.”
Now there’s a concept. I swear, it’s contagious. I put things away now
and only handle them once. I have an office in my car! And those 25
boxes are a thing of beauty.
Being organized is fun! Thank you,
A to Z Organizing Pros®! Deborah W.

B2B Article
Get the Cow off Your Desk And the Monkey off Your Back- Part
four of eight
It’s all about paper flow and time management
Look at your filing system.
What kind of files do you have? Do you
have your most important files at eye level, where you can find them
easily? Have you labeled them clearly, so you can see them the minute
you open the drawer?
If the drawers open to show the files
arranged horizontally (across) instead of vertically (front to back),
are they facing a direction that allows you to reach into the file
drawer with your right hand, if you’re right-handed, or the left, if
you’re a lefty?
Do the “Simpson Shuffle”
This simple step I developed amazes my
clients and works spectacularly for them! Most people take a new file
folder out of the box, label it on the tab at the back, place it in
the file and start filling it.
Have you had difficulty finding a folder
because you couldn’t read its label? Perhaps some oversized papers
blocked the tab. Maybe you’ve just crammed too much in the folder.
Or, have you had difficulty locating the
front of the folder? You see the back of it clearly, but all the
paper in it makes you wonder, “Where’s the front, so I can place my
most current document there?”
Well, it’s time to do the Simpson Shuffle.
You’ll need a good-sized black marking pen or label maker for this
job, because you’re going to re-label most of the folders in your
drawer.
Take the entire folder out of the drawer
and remove all the paper. Now, invert the folder, so the label
tab sticks out at the front of the folder, instead of the back. You
may have to re-label the folder on the new “front” side in your large
black marking pen or label maker. Then put the papers back in the
folder and return it to your file.
When adding new folders to the drawer, check
to see which folder tab works best. When you place a folder between
two others, one having a left tab and the other having a right tab,
the new folder should have a center tab.
Now the label is at the front of the file.
Nothing will block your view of it. And if you want to put something
in the front of the folder, it’s as simple as sliding the new document
in just behind the front cover--now the most prominent feature of the
folder.
The Simpson Shuffle is the major element in
the Simpson Pull System. This is exactly the process I follow when
I’m working with my clients.
The Rubik cube of colored folders
A word about folders: I would caution you
about the use of colored folders. The mind sees the colors like we see
a Rubik cube. It’s helpful when they are sorted by category or
department or company. It’s not so helpful when there is no rhyme or
reason.
Most clients that have file system
challenges have too many colored folders in their drawers. Changing
from colors to manila or only one color of folder changes the dynamics
of how the brain processes the information in the file system.
The biggest challenge of systems that use
multiple colors is that when the user runs out of a particular color
they grab whatever is available. Solution: Use all single color
folders, preferably manila. And when you must use color to signify a
difference in category or department, use a colored highlighter and
mark the manila folder across the top of the tab.
The only time I have utilized color folders
was for a client who ran five companies out of one facility. The
agreement was that there would be no co-mingling of file folder colors
between companies.

month....look for part three.

The Best Sales Lead
Generation Tool
A paramount achievement for all businesses is to
create a steady stream of qualified referrals into the sales pipeline. The
majority of businesses hire sales people to "hunt" for referrals to fill
the pipeline.
Hunting takes time, fails over 95% of the time each day, but . . .

Companies lose as much
as $3,000 a year per employee
Valerie says
that disorganization, clutter and inefficiency can cost companies as
much as $3,000 a year per employee.
“People should make lists and prioritize them so they can make the
most of the time they have. We have a tendency as human beings to do
the things that are easiest. It’s more efficient to do the most
urgent ones first. The people who are disciplined to make those
lists themselves and prioritize them, based on feedback from others,
can avoid resentment for those tasks and increase their motivation.”

Joke of the month
OLD AGE, I DECIDED, IS A GIFT
I am now, probably for the first time in my life, the person I have
always wanted to be. Oh, not my body! I sometime despair over my body
... the wrinkles, the baggy eyes, and the sagging butt. And often I am
taken aback by that old person that lives in my mirror, but I don't
agonize over those things for long.
I would never trade my amazing friends, my wonderful life, my loving
family for less gray hair or a flatter belly. As I've aged, I've become
more kind to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own
friend.
I don't chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my
bed, or for buying that silly cement gecko that I didn't need, but looks
so Avante Garde on my patio. I am entitled to overeat, to be messy, to
be extravagant. I have seen too many dear friends leave this world too
soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.
Whose business is it if I choose to read or play on the computer in the
middle of the night., and stay in bed until noon?
I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 70's & 80's,
and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love ... I will.
I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging
body, and will dive into the water with abandon if I choose to, despite
the pitying glances from the bikini set. They, too, will get old.
I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just
as well forgotten ... and I eventually remember the important things.
Sure, over the years my heart has been broken.. How can your heart not
break when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers? But broken
hearts are what give us strength and understanding and compassion. A
heart never broken is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy
of being imperfect.
I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turn gray, and
to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my
face. So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their
hair could turn silver.
I can say "no" and mean it. I can say "yes" and mean it.
As I get older, it is easier to be positive. I care less about what
other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned
the right to be wrong.
So, I like getting old. It continues to make me free. I like the person
I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still
here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying
about what will be.
And I may eat dessert every single day.
