Inert (adj.) – Having no inherent ability to move or to resist motion.

Does this describe the clutter on your desk and in your office? Matter is inert. Files are inert. Books are inert….. You get the idea.  To de-clutter your working space, you need to make matter mobile, meaning, PICK IT UP AND PUT IT AWAY!

As busy as we all are, sometimes it is just way too easy to let things get out of hand and then we are left  staring at a pile of files that are…

As much as I enjoy this new 2007 version of Microsoft Word, there are a few things that bother me. One is the default paragraph settings for a new Word document. They have put a 10 point space after every paragraph (every time you hit the Enter key) and the spacing between each line is 1.5. If you use these settings normally, then this is good news for you.
