Clean As You Go

The new year is here, and you feel busier than ever. Here is one simple rule to follow to help stay organized. Clean as you go. This applies in admin organization just as much as it does in your kitchen. As you are doing your normal tasks, noticing things that aren’t in the right file, aren’t labeled correctly, etc., clean them up now, while you’re thinking about it and looking at it. Yes, it will take a little extra time now, but it will save you much more time and stress in the long run.
