Other tips
  • Reduce the amount of things you carry in your pocket:
    • Call all stores with whom you have discount cards. Give them your phone number. Now toss the cards or at least put them in a file and out of your wallet.
  • Create uniformity
    • Use only one type/color of post-it, pen, and pencil at work, home, and travel. I used to like the fun colors, but this way provides uniformity and prevents you from adding a meaning to the random colored post-its you have laying around. Instead pick a cool color scheme and stick with it. Like all gray post-its and all baby blue file folders or something or another. I used to use all the crappy cheap pens I would get at work, but choosing your own pen and using on a regular basis feels great. And you co-workers won't steal your stuff as much mistaking it for their own.
    • Make all file folders align either left or right and align the labels all to the left (not centered). Again provides uniformity. Got this from another blog. Can't remember where.
