Get Organized in 2008!
Posted on | January 17, 2008 |
Taxes, filing, inventories…sometimes you need to organize before you can start organizing!!
To help you make home office and home organizing a little easier, we spoke with Lisa Kanarek, home office organizing expert and author of “Home Office Solutions: Creating a Space That Works For Youâ€.
Here are her top recommendations about the things you can do today to get organized, save money and get ready for the New Year ahead:
WHN: How do you advise home office owners/homeowners on how to do a home inventory of their office?
Lisa K.: Start by listing all the important equipment you own – computer, fax, printer – it probably won’t be much [in your home office]. Write down the year, when and where you bought it. I tell home office owners to [videograph] everything: grab a camera and just start taping everything. Keep one copy [of the footage] in your office and another offsite, in case a disaster hits your home.
WHN: Should you back-up your computer files, just in case?
Lisa K.: Every week you should do a back-up of your hard drive. You don’t have to do everything, just do the new things you added in the past week. I use a flash-drive and do two back-ups and keep one on site and one offsite.
