52 Organizing Missions

Welcome to Mission 9 of our 52 Get Organized Missions.

If home office organization is the bane of your life, you’re going to love this mission! One of the main causes of a disorganized workspace is paper accumulation – which usually happens because the filing system is over-complicated or non-existent.

So in this Get Organized Mission we’re going to create a super- simple filing system – one that makes it easy to put papers away, and also gives you confidence that you’ll find things when you need them.

And remember – it is only 30 minutes.

      Excellent responses, thanks to the group. There are a range of concertina files available that will allow you to store these kinds of papers securely and neatly.
