If you walk from desk to desk at your workplace, you’ll see
a wide variety of organizing techniques.
A few people will have a clean desk with every paper and project filed
in an exact place. Others have stacks
upon stacks of papers in different piles so they can see everything on which
they are working (that’s me!). Still
others have a spotless desk, but if you check their drawers they have papers
and folders crammed in every which way.
Whatever the method of organizing being used (or not used),
few of us have probably sat down to thoroughly analyze and think through the
best way to manage the incoming and outgoing material that passes our
workspaces each day. On Wednesday, Jan. 23
from Noon to 1 p.m., you’ll get that chance!
Professional organizer Shannon Cowan will have a lunch seminar on how to
make your workspaces more efficient and cost effective.
The program and lunch are free. Registration is required by signing up online
at http://splsuccessfulspaces.eventzilla.net, emailing
askalibrarian@stillwater.org
or calling 405.372.3633 x106. In the
meantime, you may want to brush-up on some of these skills with a few of our
