The Dilbert strip had been running this theme all last week about Carol's cluttered desk; and it inspired me to do something about the piles of loose papers on my desk.So this morning I pulled out from the stationary cabinet 5 fresh new plastic folders to file away all papers. I spent some quality time setting a strategy for the filing, naming files, and putting markers & seperators in them. I even colour coded them (all pink separators have status reports, all green separators have pending issues and so on). I feel a sense of accomplishment. Setting up the organising strategy is half the battle won, isn't it?
Now all I need to do is go through those piles & put each paper in its right place. Hmmm. Maybe tomorrow? Err, tomorrow after lunch? On second thoughts, maybe I'll give myself till end of next week?

Nice effort and strategy :))
Fighter Jet,
Moments of inspiration are so short-lived! :)
ha ha .. I am horrible with my paperwork. According to me, when I am very busy having the papers scattered around expedites my work. And then when pressure eases, I become too lazy and hata sawaan ki ghata so never arrange them.
I got a shelf at the office today but i don't feel like setting it up.
Now, wheres that intern!!
Lol @ the strip.
Next week.. sounds like a plan :P All the best.
Radha 2 seconds of your time. visit my blog now. Pls.

hahaha, thats true for me as well!
g-man,
Hey there. Well, giving instructions to an intern is probably worse than filing by yourself :)
J,
Thanks, can already feel my will power getting weaker though :)
haha!!!! remember the 5S from Toyota's lean philosophy??? they make the most sense and still are the hardest to follow!!! :)
What a coincidence. I cleaned mine too last week. Of course, the clutter has started to reappear :-(
Moi,

Moi,
Yes, I can see you've been busy! :)Hope you're enjoying your work!
I had the unenviable task of sorting through all of grandmas things last week - what to keep/what to donate/what to throw away. I did it & then thought to myself: why stop there? I filed away 4mths worth of paperwork, cleared out some kitchen cupboards & am almost ready to tackle my wardrobe!
Jayne,
Hi there, how're you doing now?
And good job with all the cleaning & organising! :)
