Using post it notes to boost efficiency

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009 | shopping | No Comments

With all the pressures of work and the need to get things done, efficiency can go a long ways in saving headaches and money in the long run. Key to having good overall productivity is having a simple and effective organizational method for running your office. Having a system that is easy and convenient for both you and your employees is crucial.

For example, binders often work better than loose folders of paper, cause less of a mess is they are dropped and can be filed on bookshelves by contents so that if someone in the office needs to looks something up or reference something then they can easily do it.

Consider using binding supplies for presentations, both for customers and employee training. Employees can have a designated training binder where they can file all the necessary information from training sessions and are much more likely to keep track of binders than they are loose pages.

Using post it notes can be a great way to add a personal note onto a memo or to notify someone that something needs to be done or that a part of the project is complete. Post it notes are also useful for brainstorming sessions as many people can write information and ideas down at once and the person leading the brainstorming session can arrange the notes into categories and rearrange them as needed, which is much more efficient than writing something on the white board and then having to erase and rewrite it if it needs to be moved to a different category.

The important thing to do is to think creatively about how the office supplies you already use can be better used to increase efficiency and communication. Staples and other office supplies such as thumb tacks can be used for hanging posters and visual aids, but they can also serve other purposes as well. Remember that no matter how you organize, it needs to be as simple as possible while fulfilling the needs of your staff so they can fulfill the needs of your customer.
