 Caller ID Add the convenience of caller ID to your PC with this free utility. It operates from your system tray, and whenever an incoming call is detected it alerts you with a pop-up window that contains the callers name and number. You can also see more detailed information, like when the person called last, how many times they've called, and more. CallerID Work Philosophy Work shouldn't be fun, right? Wrong. Wasting 30 or more years of your life in a job you hate is sad. Try to make your job more enjoyable. You'll be a lot happier and more productive. Change your line of work if you can't make your job fun. Paper Bad Here is some bad news: If you plan on being a functioning member of contemporary urban society, paperwork will be part of your life until you croak. |

File all of your important paper away in
clearly marked folders (use folders with multi-colored tabs) so
you can find things when you need to. You probably need to buy
hanging folders and plain manila folders. If you need more than
two drawers, you probably need to throw some of that stuff away.
Routine In order to keep your home or office free of paperwork clutter, schedule a weekly time to exorcise the paper demon. If you've let things pile up, just grit your teeth and do it all at once. If you don't get it done, the paper will just continue to pile up. Inspiration "Reading makes a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man." --Sir Francis Bacon  "Hide not your talents, they for use were made. What's a sun-dial in the shade?" --Benjamin Franklin |

You can't avoid it, delegate it, or eradicate it. Unless
there is a revolution in world philosophy which drastically effects
the way we all live, we're stuck with paperwork. Live with it.
We might be forced to deal with it, but we can at least make it bearable. Here are a few things you can do: Reduce Simply reduce the amount of printed material you have to look at. You can't avoid paying bills or doing your job, but you can cut back. |
Use direct payment for your bills, and only use one or two
credit cards. Us the Internet as much as possible. Email makes
it much easier to manage your incoming tasks. Filing important
data in your email program should be as easy as a few mouse
clicks.
Hardware Just as your computer needs the right components to function properly, so do you need the proper equipment to tame the paper beast. Buy a double drawer filing cabinet. It could be the best purchase you ever make. |
