want to do more to ‘green’ their homes and lifestyle,

and help individuals and families work through those challenges.” says

Start the New Year Right—Get Your
Data Under Control!
(Boulder, CO)—As most of American workers begin their work-week
in the New Year, it is difficult to come back to the deluge
of email, electronic files and paper. Below are some tips
to help the office worker take the first step in managing
the deluge of data.
-
Archive 2006 email. Go through your email in-box
and archive all 2006 emails and begin a new file folder
system for 2007. Most email programs have the capability
to archive email into a separate file from your primary
profile which is recommended to not exceed capacity with
most networked server systems.
-
Go paperless, become more electronic
with information. In today’s electronic world, all documentation is electronic
based. Begin this year to minimize the paper that you print
and keep the data electronically. Take time to set up, and
purge, your electronic file structure so you have a ‘home’ for
all documentation.
-
Have a ‘purge’ day. Create time before
your holiday break to purge your desktop and paper files.
Sort items on your desktop into these categories; action,
database, to file, distribute to others, take home and of
course, recycle.
