Take Advantage of Your Best Time
Take on your most difficult work when your energy is at its peak. This will help you focus and thus more easily complete tasks with less distraction.

Filing
Every time you start a new project, create a file folder for it. This is far more efficient than stacking the information somewhere.

Staple Over Clip
When filing, staple relevant materials together. Paper clips tend to catch on other papers within a file.

Avoid Over-scheduling
Plan no more than 75% of the day so you will have time to cope with interruptions and other unexpected happenings.

Turn off the Phone and Email
When you are facing a tight deadline, turn off the phone and email. A ringing telephone and constantly checked email can be distracting and detract from your mental energy and focus.

Store Like With Like
Items used together should be stored together. For example, establish one spot for all your extra toiletries.

Trash or Treasure
Only if you answer yes to any of these questions is it a keeper. Does it work? Do I love it? Have I used it in the last year?

Stop the Subscriptions
Be realistic about your reading. If you find that publications pile up without you getting the time to read them, unsubscribe.

The 20/80 Wardrobe Rule
Most people wear 20% of their wardrobe 80% of the time. Those seldom worn clothes take up room. If you have not worn it in a year, you never will. Throw it away, donate it, or sell it. Buy one new item you really love.

Go Clear
If you use boxes for storage, label them so you can readily identify what is in them. Clear plastic containers are ideal.

Cotton Over Plastic
Never store clothing in plastic bags. Plastic keeps clothing from "breathing" and can also cause discoloration. Instead, store in cotton garment bags that light does not penetrate.
