Computer backups: Organizing your 4 degrees of preservation I’m sure the last thing you want is a lecture on the importance of backing up or a tragic tale of lost files to hammer home the point.

Rather, if/when you’re ready to take steps to organize your computer backups, here are 4 levels to consider…

 

 

Organizing 4 degrees of computer preservation

1. Save often

  • Use the autosave function.
  • Also get into the habit of saving manually on a regular basis, especially if it’s a large or important file.

Time Management: Organize More Efficient Travel Time There are 2 steps to this tip:

  1. How can I minimize my travel time?
  2. How can I make better use of unavoidable travel or commuting time?

Spend less time commuting

  1. If you can, negotiate to work from home one or two days a week. Voila – instant time saved!
  2. Reduce travel time by avoiding peak hours, especially if you drive. Although trains and buses may be more frequent during peak times, the ride will likely be less comfortable, with your options for time use limited to sniffing someone’s underar…

An Organized Handbag: The Ultimate Symbol of a Smart Woman

No matter how fabulous your outfit, a haphazard handbag will undermine your personal presentation.

Not only is an overfilled, misshapen bag a fashion faux pas, it also a time-waster when you scuba dive in search of lipgloss, an embarrassment when you can’t find a tissue, and an opportunity-killer when you ferret fruitlessly for a business card.

So how do you achieve handbag nirvana?

First, the bag itself should be practical, with enough size and compartments to suit your lifestyle. I personal…

Be Organized to Waste Less Waiting Time Waiting rooms at the surgeries of doctors and dentists are not places you want to spend time.

There’s the array of 2-year-old magazines bearing disturbing stains, the dude scratching himself beside you, from whom you’re convinced you’ve just contracted Ebola, and the rush to be on time only to still be sitting there, 45 minutes later.

But you can organize yourself to minimize the time you waste in waiting rooms. Here’s how…

Expanding your comfort zone is one of those things you can’t help doing once you make the decision. The trick is to think ahead about the areas where you want to grow. Choose a growth area and you’ll start to notice opportunities – then you just need to give yourself a little encouragement to take one small step at a time.

Ideas for expanding your comfort zone

  • Speaking up in meetings
  • Wearing more interesting clothes
  • Going somewhere new
  • Starting a conversation with someone
  • Seei…

Organizing Your Finances: Get Organized to Pay Bills on Time It’s one thing to splurge on fabulous shoes, a new iPhone or a scrummy bottle of wine.

But it’s just plain dumb to waste your money on penalty charges or excess interest because you were late paying a bill. All it takes is a little organization and a shred of planning, and you can save your dollars to squander in ways that really matter to you. That’s what I do!

Here are 6 simple steps to get it done.

Family Life: Get Organized to Help Your Child at School Do you ruminate about your child’s school challenges?

Get that worry out of your head – where it hurts you and helps no-one – and do something useful with it. By thinking constructively about things you can do and making a plan for actions you can take, you save yourself stress and improve your ability to help your child.

A big worry can be eased with a little organization.

Organizing Technology: How to never ever check your email again Okay, so the title’s a smidge disingenuous. What I’m suggesting is that you abandon the tactic of email ‘checking’ – scanning subject lines and sender names, reading what catches your eye, sending the odd reply, all in a haphazard fashion.

Why you should avoid ‘checking’ email

1. You double up effort and waste time

Checking involves scanning, selectively opening and half-reading emails. But it leaves most message-related tasks incomplete. You quickly forward a hilarious YouTube link but d…
