Setting Up the Space: 

Don’t start this process until you have these tools.  It doesn’t have to be fancy, just functional.

It could be as simple as:

Door, two 2-drawer file cabinets (one at each end), 2 stack-baskets, legal pad and pen

Notice you don’t even need a chair!

Page 17: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

The GearGet High-Quality Mechanics - don't skimp on file cabinets, pens, etc.  Buy right, cry once!Basic Processing Tools:

Step 2: Process - "is there an action I need to take about this item?“

Page 29: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

Step 2: Process - "is there an action I need to take about this item?“

Rules: 1. Process the top item first

2. Process one item at a time

3. Never put anything back into the inbox

Page 30: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

Step 2: Process - "is there an action I need to take about this item?“

• Do it if it can be completed in two minutes or less (this includes throwing things away)

Page 31: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

Step 2: Process - "is there an action I need to take about this item?“

• Do it if it can be completed in two minutes or less (this includes throwing things away)

• Delegate it if you are not the right person to do it and it can be delegated to someone else. This is my favorite thing!

Page 32: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

Step 2: Process - "is there an action I need to take about this item?“

• Do it if it can be completed in two minutes or less (this includes throwing things away)

• Delegate it if you are not the right person to do it and it can be delegated to someone else. This is my favorite thing!

• File it - Reference or File Calendar, or TRASH!

Page 33: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

Step 3: ORGANIZE!

• General Reference• Calendar-File System• Waste Basket

Page 34: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

Organize

General Reference - needs to be within arms reach. 

•One Alpha System (A-Z) or (A-E, F-L, etc)

•Everything is organized by topic, project, or person/company.  Don't make it too complicated!!!

•Keep drawers less than 3/4 full

•Label File Folders with a labeler - they look better, and will make you feel more organized and professional!

Page 35: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

43-folders calendar system

• It requires using 43 folders, one for each month of the year, and 31 for the days of the month that you are in.

• The folders are labeled with days of the month (numbered 1-31) or month names (January – December).

Page 36: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

When you have a paper-based reminder for something to be done in the next 31 days, it is placed in one of the numbered day folders. 

When it doesn't need to be addressed for longer than that, it is placed in one of the month folders.

Examples of situations where this is useful: 

•birthday cards to be mailed on a certain day•bills to be paid on a certain day•maps to places you need to go on a certain day•sales or coupons that are good on a certain day

4th Step: DO!

Page 40: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

5th Step:   Review

• Make sure nothing is misplaced• Great time to purge or delegate• Should be done monthly and yearly

Page 41: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

Putting it all together, my way!

Page 42: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

Putting it all together, my way!

Inbox – stuff goes in here, to be processed• Top level is in• Bottom level is out

Page 43: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

Process from Inbox

• DO IT if you can complete it in 2-minutes or less

Page 44: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

If it takes longer than 2-minutes:

• Organize to the Calendar-file system, or

Page 45: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

General Reference, or

The Trash, or

Page 47: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

Delegate it (my favorite!)

This goes in the Outbox

Page 48: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

Process from Inbox to either the:

• Calendar-file system• General Reference• The Trash• or Delegate it (my favorite!)

Page 49: Organization for               Creative Types Presented by Donovan Bankhead

But don’t delegate too much!
