Organizational Tools
Poor organization and professional success go together about as well as oil and water. A cluttered space can be an anxiety-inducing space. Lots of time can is wasted poring through poorly-organized paperwork. It can cause problems with clients and may even lead to lost business. Getting an inbox where you place all things you need to get done, such as bills that need to be paid and assignments that need to be completed. Outboxes are great for things that have been finished but not yet filed. File racks for projects in progress can be helpful. A good filing system is also a must—something like color coded filing labels can be a great idea. Make sure you have a trash can, a recycling bin and a paper shredder handy.
