Hello Everyone

Looks like might be a good time to set targets and get organized this year so that you will have time to spend on the important things such as relationships, making money, going to the gym and having fun -so here are thoughts for an action plan for 2008

8 Action Steps to build for a successful foundation in 2008

  • Resolve to find the document you are looking for the first time
    • Take all your records prior to 2007 and divide them into permanent info and current info
    • Label and put away all 2006 and prior current info in a bankers box and into your attic
    • Use a bankers box and put your 2007 documents in it. Divide it into permanent and current info
    • Set up your filing system – accordion, bankers box or filing cabinet for 2008
    • Take all the paper on your desk (your work bench) and sort it into your filing systemIf you have all your records by date order and filed your tax returns on time, destroy your current information prior to 1997 –need permission from CRA Create extra time and space by dealing with each paper once which meansHave an in basket that is truly an in basketClear the basket each day at the and respond to each paper by

I agree, great post! One other rule that I live by is only touch a piece of paper in your inbox once. This prevents work and surprises from piling up!

This attitude begins to filtrate into all aspects of your organisational procedures. My inbox generally has no more than 5 emails. I put aside time that I take care of certain priority emails and just separate them into folders that indicate the job.

So all real estate emails go into that file folder and I have an allotted time to sort it out. generally the least important emails are left in the inbox and i relentlessly delete the emails which take me away from my focuses.

thanks Navaz for the post - it makes life easier for sure

cheers,
d.
