Organization and Office Max

Last week I was excited to have the opportunity to participate in a webcast by Office Max and Peter Walsh who have partnered to bring Peter's new In Place System to Office Max stores starting this week! I was also lucky enough to receive many of the products from Office Max to try out and have been using them for 2 weeks now. The In Place System is really helping me to become more organized.

The components are mostly clear and go with every decor but are also made of a strong material that I think will last a long time. The tabs are multi-colored and there is an erasable pen so that you can change the uses for the products as your needs change. I particularly liked the file tote (pictured in the back of the photo above) as it makes carrying files stylish and easy. The document wallet could also be used to bring coupons to the store.

During the webcase, Peter gave us some great tips about organization. Here are a few highlights:

*combine home and work calendars and use a color-coded system so you can easily identify if an event is home-related or work-related

*80% of documents filed away will never again see the light of day! Go through files every 6 months to evaluate the necessity of keeping the document

*Use a destop sorter to regain control over those loose papers on your desk!
