Our Potential

I recently ran across this quote and fell in love with it. How many people do you know who settle for less? Do not be one of them!!

"Success is about who you become. The big challenge is to become all
that you have the possibility of becoming. You cannot believe what it
does to the human spirit to maximize your human potential and
stretch yourself to the limit." -Jim Rohn

Quick Organizing Tips!

Manage Your Time!
· Use a planner to track appointments and tasks. It can be a paper-based notebook, a computer software program, or an electronic handheld device.
· Create at least one hour of uninterrupted time per day to tackle projects and action items.
· Break large projects down into small, sequential steps. Schedule these steps into your day with your planner.

Tame Your Desk!
· Keep only supplies you need on a daily basis on your desktop.
· Create a paper flow system for your incoming documents.
· Use your in box only for items that haven’t yet been reviewed.
· Avoid looking at documents and placing them back on the desk. Follow through with the decision you have made about the document.

Conquer Your Filing!
· Create a filing system for your electronic documents that mirrors the one you have for paper. Sort, file, and purge electronic information regularly.
· Keep a file index (a master list of file names). Check the index before creating a new file to avoid making duplicates. Also use it when deciding where to put new documents.
· Keep the most recent papers in the front of the file. Whenever you open it, the current information will be on top.
