Give Your Space Personality - A Case Study
 An important element to organization is having a comfortable environment for work. This medical executive had many needs for his office (above). Adequate storage for active files are at arms reach. In the tall cabinet is room for MRI's. Under the credenza is a shelf for binders, and other feature include shelves for books, keyboard drawer, and room on the desk top for computer and paperwork.
Another office (left) serves as space for client files and a part-time assistant. Instead of lower, hard to reach shelves two deep drawers make for easy access.
Include organization in your design needs while planning a new office or remodel, but also let your space reflect your style. It is easier to stay organized if you enjoy the environment where you work.

Minutes to More Money
Good use of time will result in more productivity and increase the bottomline. Check email only twice a day. Stopping work to read and respond each time an email arrives can be extremely distracting. Schedule time in your calendar to work on active files. Keep the most taxing work for the time of day you are most energized. Spend 5 minutes at the end of each day to clear off the desk. Recycle papers and information no longer needed. |

Social Networking 
Technology is changing daily, if not hourly. Business today makes connections through social networking sites like facebook, myspace, linkedin, and twitter. In Orlando last week NAPO members learned that this is now just as important as BNI, LeTip and other more traditional networking organizations.
I questioned not so long ago the validity of the time spent on these sites. But just last week while in Tennessee I had a friend from high school attend my organizing seminar. These connections are good for business. I invite you to join the Get It Together LA! fan page on facebook and create your own. | |

Office Statistics
The average time to retrieve and file a paper document is 10 minutes. An average of 3% of documents are lost or misfiled, and have to be recovered at an alarming cost of $120 per document.
- Gartner Group, Coopers & Lybrand, Ernst & Young
White collar workers waste an average of 40% of their workday. Not because they aren't smart, but because they were never taught organizing skills to cope with the increasing workloads and demands.
-Ann McKinney
Managing two mental tasks at once reduces the brainpower available for either task.
