I used to work for a company that didn’t have an online system for expenses (loads of companies have yet to invest in this) so I would put off doing expenses because it involved spreadsheets, photocopying receipts then photocopying the spreadsheet and lots and lots of stapling… urgh. I hated it. Automate as much as possible.

It houses so much more than a file index. This allows them to keep it within site, but all projects are kept in an organized file. Once the project is completed, the whole pile of that particular project can be filed away; out of site. I set up recurring appointments for things like bookkeeping or marketing.

As new items come up, you write them on their own card and fit them into the pile in the right priority order.    The cards are flexible and small, so you can always reorder your priorities as new ones come up.  As your tasks are done, you can have fun tearing up or just recycling the card.

You may not think that your website, your blog, your freelance business, is something you need to think about in your last will and testament, but it is. Consider what you’d like for your website, your blog or your online business if you were to pass on. Write something up, just in case. A lot of irritation. So go ahead.

Only file things in your workspace if you know you are going to refer back them. Stacked up beside your keyboard is never the right answer. A message from the Productivity Bits Blog Team.
