5 Top tips for a more organised office

Have you got adequate filing space to keep files when you're not using them? An A4 clipboard that you can pin all your scraps of paper on keeps it all together, and ensures you will not be scrambling around looking for a note or information.

Can you organise your work into folders? Even in the smallest of companies, you can get yourself some 'budget' wallets to keep everything together, thereby impressing everyone with your apparent competence. You can also get rid of more by becoming a 'paperless' office.

Invest in some cost-effective time management software. Most systems have a reminder system in place, and a link system to word documents / scans that are linked to a particular contact. Once you've scanned / input the data into your system, throw away the paperwork.
