I worked with a client a few weeks ago and we set up a filing system in her home office.  Then we organized every other room in her home. She called me to say she felt free because of all the organizing we had done. She could now find everything and by putting things away where they belonged she didn't have to donate large chunks of time to find things she needed.

While higher authorities in any office are the decision makers, and the top brass, it is the employees lower down the rungs that actually do the company's hard work. It is the employees who file paperwork, photocopy thousands of pages when required and sometimes have to do a large amount of mundane work. Needless to say, the happiness of these employees ensures the successful running of the company.

It is a well-known fact that a nine to five job can and does stress people...

Sometimes it may seem like all you ever get done is chores, going to work and performing tasks for other people. But while these things can take up an overwhelming portion of your time, it is extremely important that you find time for yourself as well. But how can you find time for yourself when there are already so many other demands for your time?

The times when you're most creative are not necessarily when you sit down and brainstorm ideas.  The best ideas often come when you least expect them.  You might be driving your car, at your workplace, mowing the lawn, or doing grocery shopping.  If you're not carrying an idea book or voice recorder to record those ideas, you may be missing out on valuable ideas.  And you may have to work longer and harder to brainstorm ideas.
