A Colourful Approach to Organizing an Office

If you have multiple projects that seem to collide, and you can’t keep track of all the various deadlines and meetings for each one, try colour coding.

First, assign a colour to each project.

File each project in folders or binders of the same colour – now everything is easily identifiable and each project is distinct.

Next, invest in a package of coloured pens or markers. Use the colour you’ve chosen for each project to keep track of meetings, events, and deadlines on your calendar - preferably a desk-sized blotter calendar. If you’re working with lists and use a whiteboard, transfer your colour coding there. Now items and events associated with specific projects can be found quickly and easily.
