Files – see my previous blog on my filing system. The phone should be on the desk as near to your keyboard and computer screen as possible. Calendar – For quick reference I have a one sheet per day calendar block on my desk. There is also something very satisfying in pulling each day off and chucking it in the bin!

If something did not need to be worked on in the next 72 hours, it went in my follow-up system. Of course, I love my iPad (newer, bigger, lightweight screen with the keyboard by Apple); loving my AirPods (no wires!); They are my: * Follow-up system. I still love the 43 hanging file system. It never fails me. *

Similarly I have a large A4 desk pad next to my keyboard for any quick notes I need to make, things to remember (like phone numbers for instance), and tasks people give me at my desk. Archive and search rather than file. This is still my favourite go to tool for remember everything at work.

At the end of the day, your desk should have little more on it than your computer, keyboard, mouse pad, phone, and perhaps a framed photograph of a loved one. Oftentimes, we don’t properly file things or put something away because it’s not convenient. Here’s how to get started with a clean slate, every time: 1.

My system uses two e-mail folders ONLY. I personally use OneNote, but you can use a similar program or even plain text files. A major part of my processing speed is in keyboard shortcuts in my e-mail program. You should look into keyboard shortcuts too. For work, I use Outlook.

Unlike traditional e-mail, Google Apps utilizes labels instead of a folder system for e-mail sorting and storage. By using labels in combination with filters, I am able to automatically sort and label (file) most of my e-mail before it arrives in my in-box. I'll read and delete and save those of interest in a file.

I am not a big fan of touch screen keyboards as they are not a true QWERTY keyboard. The touch screen keyboard won’t give you a fast typing rate because you have to type with one finger versus all 10. It’s a great reminder system or to do list. As a rule, I never delete any emails or throw out any files or paper.

Thank goodness I get three tries to pick the right one before the system locks me out. On some sites there is an option to "Remember my password," which is helpful until your system crashes and you lose everything and then how are you ever going to remember what the password was in the first place since you havent had to enter it in a year?

Try to anticipate the need so you can have the file or the answer your boss needs, before he or she even knows they need it. Maintaining a good bring-forward system is important to have things ready when needed. A good assistant knows just where to find the document or file needed, or they won’t stop looking till they do.

After I’m done, I send the text to myself as an email (more on that at point 3b), create a separate text file with it or just put it on the screen with big fonts.
