Stay on Top of Your Paper Piles

Filing System for Home Office

There are three kinds of paper, reference, action and trash. Reference files contain information you might need to look at in the near future but you have already acted on.  A simple filing cabinet is usually the best place to store these papers. Place your file cabinet in your home office where you have easy access.  At tax time, make way for the upcoming year's papers by moving old documents to an according file; then move the files to out-of-the-way storage.




Create an easily accessible system for action papers things that need immediate attention, such as bills or school papers.  The system you set up for your action papers and accordion file, wire desktop sorter, stackable drawers, colored folders, etc. should match your filing style.  Some people are abstract thinkers, able to remember and envision a file tucked away in a drawer.  And, some people are concrete thinkers, and that same file would disappear from consciousness and be out of sight, out of mind.  Honor yourself and your preferences, because that is the only way to create systems that work long term.

The woman who's the housewife that never gets credit for raising our future President.  Maybe, it the little old lady that welcomes you to the Wal-Mart and she has to be there because that's her only choose.  Could it be

Networking vs. Social Climbing

What's the Difference Between Networking and Social Climbing? This is just my opinion, but there's not a lot of difference in the two.  Both take you out of your comfort zone and you have to talk to individuals you have never met, but if you do your introduction correctly then you aren't a social climber you are now a networker.  You may say that this fact isn't true, but I beg to differ with that.  People think a social climber should never be let into the elite circle of friends, but if that some person is networking then the elite will gladly welcome that same person into there circle because now this same person is worthy.  So, you see there's always a way of going up the social ladder without it being a negative in life.....
