In the case of filing papers in a home office, the “save steps and achieve organizing success solution“ is to move your file cabinet near your desk – or otherwise rearrange your space – so you don’t even have to get out of your chair to file your papers!
- Have an old file cabinet whose drawers are hard to open or don’t slide out all the way, making it hard to reach the back of it? The “save steps and achieve organizing success solution” is to get a new, full extension file cabinet with drawers that glide out easily and completely for total access.
- Papers piling up because you’ve run out of filing supplies? The “save steps and achieve organizing success solution” is to make sure that you always keep some surplus on hand.
