This means being
in control of your environment and freeing up your mind from worrying
about what you have to do next. In this way you can work more quickly
and efficiently
than you have before, saving precious time and effort. Filing is
not just about the
paperwork - it is about electronic files too (including your email
in box.). The easiest
way to get your filing into shape is to differentiate between action
filing and archive filing.
Action filing
refers to those things you need to hand every day (e.g your current
projects, frequently used directories and so on.) Archive filling
refers to items that you only need access to once in a while (e.g.
reference material, completed projects, legal/financial records.)
Tackle large piles of clutter one piece at a time, decide whether
it is action
or archive and put it away appropriately.) You do not need to keep
tasks in your mind
as they will be in your schedule. (See A = Allocating).
