Case Studies
Client: Attorney
Objective: Create Paper & Task Management Systems
Time Frame: 14 Hours
This attorney's lack of control over the information that crossed/covered her desk was causing undo stress. In addition, she had trouble managing her priority list and ensuring that time was set aside for addressing all key tasks. An added challenge was that she worked out of two offices and needed access to all relevant documents from both work locations. Our objective was to create easy to follow systems that controlled the paper management and facilitated task management.
After:
- Desktop is completely clear
- Each in box assigned a specific action
- Established a system for paper management and assigning a time to address tasks
- Created an e-mail management process so that her in-box is emptied each day
- Re-organized the files and folders on her computer so that they represent her current needs
- Desk covered by papers
- In boxes overflowing with papers requiring action
- Lack of certainty concerning the status of work in progress
- Over 10,000 read e-mails clogging up the in-box
- Computer files were cluttered with duplicate and outdated folders
Client Reaction:
"Stephanie customized organizational systems that work the way my brain works and months later I'm still using the systems she created for me.... and even introducing modifications based on the principles she taught me."
