It is not uncommon to struggle with how to be organized at work. Bad filing habits are the source of a good deal of the frustration, stress, and wasted time. Or in reality having no filing habits at all! A lot of people find filing to be a low priority on their to-do list. Papers piling up around you just don't have an assigned home. At the end of the year when it comes time to condense and archive your work files or complete your shredding for the past year you are in for big trouble. There are two main aspects to the common filing problem.
Number one is that people don't know how to set up a system. It is crucial to know you NEED a filing system when learning how to be organized at work. But where do you even begin? You don't understand how to put together a system that will be successful and work for you. So you simply do nothing. Those papers stacked everywhere are not in their homes because you haven't assigned them homes! You are not alone.

Do you have preferences? People remain frozen because they are worried if they file away their paperwork they won't remember where it is. Or worse forget it ever existed at all. Out of sight, out of mind is the fear and it stops people from filing paperwork at all! The use of color can make your filing system straightforward and fun. We tend to be very visual beings that is why I use orange or yellow hanging files for bill pay files. You won't have to search when you open your drawer these files will jump out at you. Don't be afraid of losing bill pay files use

Goal 1: I created folders to store the major file categories used most frequently: Briefings, Remarks and Letters of Recommendation.

Time management is a very important skill for all employees. Many employees find themselves frustrated with their workload and this often leads to stress as they try to catch up on tasks that they have not managed to complete.
Prioritize- by prioritizing your work tasks correctly you can ensure the most important jobs are being done followed by the others in ascending order. Urgency doesn't mean importance so you can assess whether something can wait whilst you finish working on something that is more important. This can also go beyond simply working out which is most important but also what can be done when. Delegation can also be seen as an aspect of prioritization in that if you can have someone else do certain tasks whilst you address more important ones. Set performance goals- setting performance goals allows you to track progress you are making on a task/project.
Implementing change in the workplace is a dynamic process. Although change itself can be controlled and limited to some degree, innovation is substantially even more dynamic. This dynamic, unpredictable process introduces vulnerability, which can lead to employee frustration. Just as the scenario addresses, many individuals become motivated at the thought of change and innovation; however, the change does not occur due to resistance or other obstacles. Much of this resistance arises from the unpredictability and vulnerability of the process. Managers must be able to prevent or manage resistance by using tools and strategies to smooth the process.
What do we know about time management? As adults we should know a lot about time management. We all strive to become the best that we can be. This alone should encourage us to learn about time management. Every aspect of our lives depends on it. If we try to plan, organize, and execute our ideas most of the time we can manage it well, but when we go the other route, and jump out there feet first, most of the time we do not do as well. This is not the case in every light, but usually it is the norm. Even as we sit in class trying to better ourselves by improving on our education, we learn that we must manage time to the best of our abilities. This is not done only for school, but for our families for those of us that have children and spouses. A lot of the time, we manage to get everything done and leave ourselves out in the cold when it comes to making time for ourselves. If it is not our job or school we are trying to meet someone else's needs.
On my first day of archiving I worked with Barbara and Sandy. We filled out data entry sheets and I finished two books within two hours because we were all learning. Each book must have two sheets filled out on it, one being a data entry form and the second being a condition report on the book. These data entry sheets were made to correlate with the Past Perfect archiving program. Once done with the data entry sheets we would copy the number we assigned the book on to the card inside the book and then file the books back on to the shelves in numerical order. So through the Past Perfect training disk and all of us working on the book sheets we became experts at data entry. Second day of archiving I worked with Barbara and Ardienne. We got a total of twenty-five books done, which I finished thirteen of those books. I trained Ardienne how to fill in the data archiving book sheets and I checked to make sure she filled them out correctly. The books we archived will be reference books, which will later be used in a library the Milford Historical Society is planning to have. Some of the books were directly related to Milford, while others were archaeology books. On the third day of archiving with Susan we archived eleven books in total. I taught Susan how to fill out the archiving book sheets. We came across some books we think were accessioned or archived before, which meant they were catalogued already. Thus, we left them on the table in a pile so on the desk till we could solve figure out where they would be shelved.
Outlook has been the most popular tool for organizing business and communications for over ten years. If a person learns to use it effectively, it can significantly reduce their daily workload. It was designed to make organizing daily information easy. Outlook pulls together everything necessary for daily tasks, appointments, emails, and other details. More importantly, it enables a person to use the same program to deal with many different kinds of information.
