Let’s face facts. No one enjoys performing a deep clean, especially when it comes to employee records and other paperwork. In fact, for many business owners, the words “spring cleaning” alone evoke a run-for-the-hills, I’ll-do-it-another-day sense of panic. But rather than dwelling on the task ahead at this time of year, think of it as a perfect time to start fresh! If you’ve been avoiding the task of getting organized and putting more efficient and paper-free processes in place, here are some simple ways to get started:
Go digital. At Champion Records Service, we can scan your documents and convert them into a digital format, cutting down on paper and making your files mobile, available wherever you are 24/7 via the Internet.
Opt in for digital records as much as possible. For example, Champion Records Service provides certified court reporters and videographers for depositions and sworn statements, and we provide you with printed and/or digital e-transcripts; it’s your preference.
Have a goal. Don’t go crazy with unreachable organization goals. Think big, start small. Think of a few areas of your business life you’ve been meaning to organize for a long time. Put all of your random, unorganized paperwork into separate piles and spend some amount of time each day going through them, discarding and organizing.
Focus on folders. Is your desktop cluttered with folders and images and files? Start organizing your desktop into folders. Once you have the high-level folders created, sort those free-floating files on your desktop into the necessary one. Set aside time each day or week to work on this and other organizational tasks.
As you can see, spring cleaning isn’t only about the drudgery of floor-to-ceiling house-cleaning. It’s a perfect time to focus on decluttering your business life, and getting more organized.
