![]() I no longer have a filing cabinet in my office. I don’t get bank or credit card statements through the post anymore. Today, most of these documents are now online or in digital format. My car and house insurance, a file folder for gas, electric and water bills as well as bank and credit card statements oh, and a place to keep my running magazines and Law Society Gazette.Īnd because if I didn’t file these papers away almost immediately, they would be left sitting on the dining table, there was a constant reminder that these papers and documents needed to be filed. I remember in the late 1990s, I had a filing cabinet in my study that held all the important papers and documents I needed to keep. More and more digital stuff has been replacing what typically would have been paper. This is the dilemma that has been creeping up on us over the last ten to fifteen years. I really struggle to keep all these things organised and wondered if you have any tips and tricks that might help. This means I have a lot of papers to read, review and study. On top of that, I need to stay up to date with the latest research. ![]() Janine asks: Hi Carl, I am a professor at a large hospital and I not only have patients to see, I also teach. However, before we do that, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week’s question. So what can we do? Well there are a few things you can do and that is what we will look at this week. After all, you likely don’t have a great deal of free time as it is, so adding a new process that takes time is not going to solve any problems. And secondly, the deeper the organisation structure you build the longer it will take to move the stuff you collect in the future-which will mean you won’t do it. The first is it will take time for you to develop the natural muscle memory to move stuff to their rightful place, and in my experience, most people have enough on their plates as it is. However, are all these wonderful organisation methods the best use of our time? You see, getting all our stuff organised is a great idea, but that’s a one-time task that may take a few days or even weeks, but long-term we have to maintain this new structure and therein lies two problems. It’s a fantastic way to get things organised and gives us the motivation to clear out our stuff-which is no bad thing. Elaborate notebook and tag structures in Evernote, Complex folders on our computers organising every facet of our lives.Īnd all that’s great.
