Office Organization

Office organization is an imperative aspect of running a successful business. Whether you have a home office or an office space, you’ve got to implement office organization that will work for you. For the fledgling business owner, keeping track of everything can often be a daunting and exhausting task.

After all, you have to handle the finances, your existing client relations, get the job done, drum up new clients so the pipeline doesn’t run dry and remember where you put it all at the end of the day. Effective office organization can make or break a business.

Joe Cirillo, author of It’s Your Time, knows this all to well. He has successfully been in business for over thirty years. In 1972, Joe and a partner developed and pioneered the mail-order inserts in bank and oil statements. A decade later Cooper Rand has become the premier firm in a very competitive marketplace.

Joe learned that a key component to his success was his ability to manage time. Little by little Cirillo created his own system for office organization, that helped he and his employees find more time to seek new business. And after all, without new business, you’re out of business.

Cirillo recommends a few organizational items that will get you on the road to office organization:

A two-drawer filing cabinet is a must have, file it once, touch it once and remember it later. And, he suggests, always have labels available so you can file away newly acquired items. Chances are, if it goes in the to-be filed folder you will be searching for it later. A bulletin board is a great way to jot down important items you have to remember, or ideas you come up with now but can’t deal with until later. Often stopping one task to start another will only result in several incomplete projects and more stress.

It’s Your Time will walk you through a process that will get you well on your way to office organization and success.
