Use your new file system and find homes for anything else that doesn’t belong in your office space. 5)       Computer and emails. Create a work folder and use subfolders for particular employees, projects, etc.  Emails should be sorted as soon as you read them.  It only takes a second or two to save emails in a particular folder and this will avoid wasting time in the future. 6)       Set aside a little time each day and every few months to clean up and purge files no longer needed. 7)       Add a personal touch to your office with pictures, plants and whatever else makes your office a pleasant place to work. Now that your office is organized, you’ll have enough time to smell the roses.  Good luck organizing and have a great winter.
