This attorney's lack of control over the information that crossed/covered her desk was causing undo stress – she needed simple organizing solutions to help her control her paperwork flow. She also 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. She needed a professional office organizer to create easy-to-follow systems that controlled the paper management and facilitated task management.

Before

• 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• Computer files were cluttered with duplicate and outdated folders

After

• Desktop is completely clear
• Each in box assigned a specific action
• Implemented organizing solutions for managing paperwork and time management systems for 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 business needs
