Go with your gut when it comes to organizing
I met with a new client today for a consultation. We focused on setting up systems to manage and streamline her paperwork in her home office.
She had several items that did not have "homes" created for them. One of the challenges for most folks is determining not only "where" away will be for items, but what to name/label the items.
For instance, she had a copy of her son's immunization record that was recently needed for enrollment into school. She wasn't sure what to do with it. Through our discussion, she did conclude it would be nice to keep it on hand for future reference. The question then was where and how.
I asked her "what do you think of when you look at this?" Her response "medical." So, we created a file folder and she named it "medical."
I always say to go with your gut feeling. Traditionally the gut instinct you initially have is the same gut instinct you will probably have in the future.
So, go with your gut!
