How can I be more organized at work?

Color Coded Document Routing

Use different colored folders for different types of mail or documents that are routed in your office. For example:

  • a yellow folder for new mail that has been received, opened and date stamped;
  • a red folder for items requiring signature;
  • a green folder for financial documents such as bank statements, or check requests;
    etc.

    The color coded folders will help busy office workers know at a glance which items require immediate attention.
