What we did…
1. Think about your role – start out by thinking about each area and responsibility of your role. Then create a folder for each of these sub-areas.
2. De-clutter – next get rid of excess paper work. Be ruthless and get rid of anything you’re no longer working on or won’t need to reference. Consider creating soft copies of files you still need.
3. Set up an in-tray – keep only current files and anything still a work in progress in your in-tray.
4. Have a place for everything – map out where you’ll store each file, as well as any inspirations and reference documents. Keep a visual guide so you can always find things in a hurry.
