Organizing Your Workspace

“I’ll get organized just as soon as I find the time.” “I have a great system. I just let things go, and if it is really important, someone will call about it!” Do these statements sound familiar? Crawling out from underneath your stacks of paper can be challenging, but it is also a skill that can be learned. This course teaches you strategies for getting rid of the stacks of paper, clearing off the top of your desk, organizing your files, and managing all those sticky notes, paper clips, and pens. You will be able to find things the first time you look for them and will cease being confused about what projects are where and who’s doing what.
