Organizing Your Home Office
More and more people are working from their homes and trying to balance personal paperwork as well as business paperwork. I am one of those people. We definitely are not a paperless society, paper is one of the biggest issues I see with clients. So how do you keep from getting it all mixed up?
If you have do all of your paperwork from one desk, like many of us do, make every effort to separate personal from business. Let’s start with the files. You can separate hanging file folders in several ways.
1. Use 2 different filing cabinets-1 for business, 1 for personal files.
2. Use different drawers, 1-2 drawers for business, 1-2 drawers for personal files.
3. If you have to share a drawer then use different colored hanging file folders, 1 color for business, 1 color for personal files.
How about the papers you are currently working on? Again separate them by using two different step sorters with labeled folders. When you are in ‘personal’ mode you know right where to zero in on where your paperwork is. When you are in ‘business’ mode, everything business will be at your fingertips.
Organizing your home office and finding what you need will be easier if you separate personal from business!
