Productivity and efficiency are key ingredients to every successful business. If your office is not functional, it affects everything you and your staff do, which in turn, cuts into your profits. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

• optimize your work schedule to ensure peak performance,
• manage the influx of paperwork and safely store your archives,
• employ the basics of Feng Shui to enhance your work environment,
• select the best storage options to efficiently organize your office supplies, and
• increase productivity by clarifying roles, minimizing interruptions, and delegating tasks.

Hope to see you there!

Create a filing system that works for you. If you tend to have piles of paper on your desk, get a set of wire dividers. Store each of your current projects in a pretty file folder—bloom or dot.

You’’ll also want to thoughtfully evaluate each piece of paper that crosses your desk. Do you really need to save it? Keep in mind that 80% of papers that are filed are never referenced again! (Source: Small Business Administration)
