Don't Turn Files Into Garbage.

A very important point of time management is to manage the documents on the table.

The goal of the work should be to handle every document only once, and not to pile up all kinds of documents on the table, because the office is a workplace, not a storeroom.

There are four ways to deal with the documents: dealing immediately, pferring to others, filing and discarding.

Let's take a closer look at these four points: we should immediately deal with the documents and answer them quickly. If we deal with them in the future, we will keep them in the diary system, whether in computers or in traditional notebooks.

If you still need some information to handle it, then you can give it to someone else. But keep an eye on this matter so as not to miss the deadline.

As for when the other party needs to reply, it must be noted in the document, and should also be kept on the diary system to remind ourselves.

Finally, it is necessary to note that many documents on the table are often not related to you. Throw them into the waste cartons as far as possible, and do not plan to stay behind to prevent them.

Sort out the processed documents, copy the required information, and discard them.

He uses a chronicle system to check all the files once a month and throw away any unnecessary documents.

Otherwise, allowing all kinds of paper to accumulate, it will be very troublesome to file in the future, and procrastination will become a homely meal.
