Yepp, that's the idea! Sorry, could not resist

You lose that feeling of being over worked, that I'll-never-be-able-to-finish-all-this. Makes me faster. I concentrate on one task and then the next one. Period.

All I do is taking advantage of the fact that desks come with drawers. I use a file system like this with numbers from 1 to 31. Papers get sorted to when I have to handle them and that is it. I will take out my work for the day in the morning, have room for everything else that might show up and when there is time left I will tackle the next folder.

Also I made it a habit to file everything the moment it is done rather than having whole filing days that seem to be a chore to almost every one.

This way my office is always neat and I can use the little brains I have for the work at hand and not for worrying on how to cope with everything. BTW, when in working in an office I do my "official" job, mulit-language secretary/assistant, which means I have not only to organize myself but my boss, too.
