Optimize Your Office: Go From Piles to Productivity
Is your “to file” pile taller than your filing cabinet?
83 dried out pens, 54 broken rubber bands, ripped envelopes, old coffee cups – wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a functional workspace instead of a cluttered mess of a desk?
Through this presentation, you will learn how to:
-Get your work space under control, whether you work from home or in a more formal business setting.
-Set up an easy-to-maintain desktop center that will keep important papers at your fingertips and be able to turn your cluttered desk into a functional and efficient workspace.
-Use the best filing systems to help you retain and retrieve those important documents.
-Use the “5 D’s for Quick Decision Making” – a system designed to help you make easy and fast decisions about what to do with that daily deluge of paper – the mail!
-Reclaim your desktop, countertop, filing cabinet, dining room table, office floor, or any place that has become overwhelmed by paper clutter.
-Never miss another deadline, lose another important document, or waste time spinning your wheels again.
-Get your business or home office organized so you can have more time, be more productive, and be able to focus on growing your business!
Registration is available online until Thursday, February 5 at 3pm.

Zoom Virtual Meeting|Call Tips
Find a quiet room and close the door so we will have the same level of no distraction plus confidentiality.
- Look at what is behind you – in Zoom you can select a virtual background – next to the video camera icon (usually bottom left) click on the arrow and select a virtual background
- If you click on the video camera icon or microphone icon (usually bottom left) it will turn it off (the icon will have a diagonal red line through it)
- Check your camera ahead of time. Ideally position your camera enough in front of you that we see not just your face but upper body, so we can see your gestures. It’s best if the camera is elevated to eye level, not looking up at your chin
- Make sure the light isn’t too bright behind you. If it’s too bright you will appear as a silhouette … we want to see your face
- Test your video first here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362313-How-Do-I-Test-My-Video-
- Good audio is critical. Test it first. https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362283-Testing-computer-or-device-audio
- You can use a headset with a mic if the audio isn’t clear
- Test your internet connection ahead of time. If you’d like me to do that with you let me know and we’ll set up a time prior to the meeting
- You will receive an email the day before, or day of depending on when you register, with a link inviting you to join the zoom meeting – meeting ID and passcode will be included
- If you are working from home in PJ bottoms, you might want to turn off your video before you stand up ?
Zoom Safety & Technical Tips
- DO NOT make meetings or classrooms public. In Zoom, there are two options to make a meeting private; require a meeting password or use the waiting room feature and control the admittance of guests.
- DO NOT share a link to a teleconference or classroom on an unrestricted publicly available social media post. Provide the link directly to specific people.
- Manage screen sharing options. In Zoom, change screen sharing to “Host Only.”
- Ensure users are using the updated version of software – security patches are continually being added.
