Getting organised
One university professor was infamous for his filing system – every day, after a pile of mail, academic journals and paraphernalia had gathered, he’d place that day’s newspaper over the top it.
When asked where something was he’d say, “Ah yes, that was around the time of the Falkland conflict, try the right hand corner of the sitting room, I think that’s where you’ll find July ’82”.
There are about as many strategies for being organised as there are people – some are tried and tested and others are just tired. Simple changes to workflow can make the difference between a two second search and an hour long quest. In fact some research findings suggest that 10 minutes of smart planning and organising can save as much as an hour per day.
