Mar 24, 2014 /prREACH/ -- During the Get Organized Google Hangout which aired live on March 27th - How to Get Organized and Get Rid of Paper Piles Forever, Alex Mandossian and Kathi Burns explained useful and easy tips and tricks to eliminate and organize the papers that are needed.
Preparing for tax time is typically a very stressful time of the year especially when there are paper piles spread throughout the house or office or receipts stuffed into shoe boxes. With a few of the simple steps presented in this hangout, shoe boxes and piles can be eliminated.
This hangout provided guidance to help viewers get rid of the papers that are no longer necessary. It also provided quick and easy ways to organize and keep track and find the papers quickly when needed.
Professional organizer Kathi Burns is on a mission to help people get control of their papers so that they can spend less time searching for missing papers and more time being productive. She is accomplishing this goal one Get Organized Google Hangout at a time.
This first of four Get Organized Hangouts with Kathi and Alex discusses ways to lead a simpler, less stressful life when it comes to keeping personal and business documents organized. Traditional filing systems have failed us because the majority of the stuff we put into our file drawers are no longer necessary thanks to the giant Google search engine. For instance, if information can be found faster and more up to date with a quick Google search then who needs to keep reference papers?
Granted, there are many documents that we still need to keep in our possession which is why it is important to create an easy to use filing system. Not having a working file system is similar to playing hide and seek with only one person. Playing with only one person or operating without a good system is a frustrating and senseless waste of time. This is evidenced in the statistic that the average US executive wastes 3 hours a week simply trying to find missing documents that they need to complete a task.
The Gartner Group also confirms another sobering truth about the importance of having a good document organizing and retrieval system. They estimated that 50 percent of small and medium size businesses would go out of business within three years if lost data could not be recovered in 24 hours. When we also take into account the fact that 15% of all documents are misplaced and 7.5% are lost altogether, a new strategy is required.
