Recommendation

Ronni Eisenberg’s book demonstrates how your work habits can be your best friends or your worst enemies when it comes to organizing your office productively. The book is a mixture of common-sense suggestions and useful organizational tips. She includes helpful hints for home-office workers and organizational tips for those who use personal digital devices. At times, it’s a little too intricate (you may feel you are getting detailed instructions on how to tie your shoes), however, it also offers organizational gems. getAbstract recommends this book for both the organizationally impaired and the retentive neat freaks who seek ever-greater heights of efficiency.

  • Your calendar must be portable. If you keep your calendar on a PC, print out a hard copy to take with you.
  • Make sure you have a backup copy, whether your calendar is on computer or on paper.
  • Photocopy your telephone...
