In order to maximise your success in each of the skills/activities you need to be well
organised: Use some sort of storage system such as drawers, trays or boxes for your paperwork or folders; and pots for pens and pencils to keep your area well organised and tidy.
Have a drawer just for your stapler, Post It Notes, labels, scissors, pencils and pens, calculator and disks or datasticks, and put things back in the same drawer when you have finished with them.
Create an effective filing system (using file names you can remember!) and make the time to file papers away regularly; do the same with your electronic files and folders.
Use a planning system such as a ‘to do’ list each day and cross each item off when completed. You can also make use of the MS Outlook functions such as the diary, journal, alarms and tasks.
