Synopsis

At work, people deal with piles of forms, files, folders, and mail but they have no system in place for the non-stop barrage of paper that lands on everyone’s work stations; or if they do have a system, it is one that does not work very well. This book offers solutions to the paper-piling problems that inhibit productivity.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Most people have an area they'd like to get "more organized." At work, it could be a desk buried in phone messages, memos and work-in-progress, overstuffed file cabinets or indecipherable computer files. At home, maybe it's a dining room table laden with bills and receipts, a pile of articles waiting to be read or photographs that need labeling. No matter what the situation, Barbara Hemphill has the practical solution to help control these "Paper Tigers."

From the Back Cover:

Spend just two hours with this book - and save at least an hour a day! Are your files crammed with papers you don't use? Is your in-box overflowing? Do you have trouble finding computer documents when you need them? If so, the paper tiger's got you in its grip.

In spite of the promise of the paperless office, computers, e-mail, faxes and the Internet probably mean that you have to contend with more paper than ever. But setting up an efficient system to organize all that information is easier than you might think.

Now Barbara Hemphill, America's foremost expert in managing paper, offers help. In Taming the Paper Tiger at Work, Hemphill presents simple suggestions that will save you time and increase your efficiency, whether you're an individual employee, a small business owner or a high-level executive. Drawing on her 20 years of experience ranging from entrepreneurs with home offices to major corporations (including 3M, Eastman Kodak and Staples), she shows you how to decide what to toss, what to keep and - most important - how to find it when you need it, so you can get the results you want!
