Still, don’t you deserve a workspace that’s organized, bright, cheerful, and attractive? In the future, try to deal with mail or faxes as they come in – either respond, toss or file – and make it a goal to touch each piece of paper only ONCE. Don’t you feel energized already?

Don’t EVER send sensitive financial data via email – even if it is split across two emails. Ask your VA/service provider if she has a Credit Card Authorization form that she can send to you, and you fax back to her. But first, a word of caution …. Sending info via email is like sending a postcard via mail.

Being productive isn’t something you just “are” Productivity stems from having numerous tools in your toolbox to tackle the hundreds of tasks that get thrown at us every week. Efficiency is heightened because you aren’t constantly starting up and closing down / opening and putting away resources. Happy batching!

I found mine, but took quite a few jobs before this to get to where I was and a few thousand applications and faxing resumes later. The point of this is that a person that usually is productive won’t be in a job that doesn’t satisfy them completely. Remember, money isn’t everything. What have I done?

There are some companies that, unfortunately, don’t allow for purchases such as stationary , fax machines , toner , etc. You can even get new items, if you aren’t into used items or feel that they might not work as well. Since I work for a large corporation, this is my case as well. Whats next?

My weight gain happened as a result of being so busy in my new job that I started eating out because it was easier than having to make my own breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner at home and I stopped going to the gym because I just couldn't seem to find the time. It really does help, doesn't it? Healthy Or Junk?
