Is your "File Pile" causing causing chaos in your life?   It may seem like there isn’t enough time to keep your workspace organized as things circulate through on a daily basis, however with a formulated system to meet your wants and goals, maintaining order can take 5 or fewer minutes per day. 
Follow these key tips and watch your workspace fall into place .  

1.  File Now, do not wait for Later!  Later is rarely a good idea.  There is no time like the present. 
2.  Stop rearranging piles of paper.  Instead put all paperwork and office items in their designated place immediately.  A constant shifting of paper piles with the intention of later filing, tossing, or shredding can be the opposite of calming.  With an established system there is no need to spend time looking for things and shuffling piles. You will be able to spend your time working and enjoy being clutter free!
3. Archive completed files.  When a project is complete, put all of the materials together and file them away. Keep your “working folders” for projects in progress.
4. Purge the Paper.  Recycle or shred everything that is not increasing your work output, production, or efficiency.  Not sure how to decide if keeping or shredding is necessary? Proceed to Tip # 5.
5.  Allow a Professional to Help You.  Contact Laura for a free consultation.  A Professional Organizer is not afraid to sort through the piles of paper & organize the contents into "Keep", "Recycle", or "Shred", then follow through on the action.  Together we will focus on the future of a functional new office space!

The amount of effort you put into creating and maintaining an efficient workspace area will pay off in a big way!  You will be able to spend valuable time focusing on your work, bringing a sense of calmness, clarity, and peace to your mind.
