Organizing Important Resources Many of us have intricate filing systems for our documents, letters, faxes, etc. We recognize the fact that spending a little time to stay organized can save us a lot of time in the future. Shaving even a few seconds when we're trying to locate important information can not only save us a sizeable chunk of time each day, but it can also impress our clients and bosses. We can give the impression that we have an extensive working knowledge on the subject when we're actually just well prepared to retrieve the information when needed. |

Even if you're
just organizing a stack, find a way to make them more accessible to
your needs. You might even want to slap some tabs on the resources
you use the most. That will help you see where to turn to without
having to flip through the index.
 Inspiration "Living apart and at peace with myself, I came to realize more vividly the meaning of the doctrine of acceptance. To refrain from giving advice, to refrain from meddling in the affairs of others, to refrain, even though the motives be the highest, from tampering with another's way of life - so simple, yet so difficult for an active spirit. Hands off!" --Henry Miller Get Real A lot of our everyday stress comes from the fact that our expectations can't always live up to reality. You might tell yourself you can get something done in a few days, but you're usually unable to find the time. In order to reduce stress, You can either lower your expectations of yourself, or you can use daily planning to make your expectations reality. The latter is the intelligent choice. You'll get more done, you'll feel good about yourself, and you'll reduce stress as well. |

All of this
brings to mind the question, "If we bother to spend the time to organize
the things we rarely use, then why don't we do the same for the resources that
we use every day?"
All of us have texts that answer many of our questions - guides in our field that we've found to be extensive sources of valuable info. They're basically our business bibles. Chances are, though, that we cannot merely rely on one text, or even a few, to answer all of our questions.

 We can pull out specific information on a particular issue that we have had first-hand experience with in a heart beat, but we find that it takes us a long while to answer even the most general questions.  |
