Dilemma

I'm trying to figure out a way in which I can stay on top of all my projects at my job. Here is the dilemma, I have to make sure all the projects I'm working on stay up to date and that the permits don't expire. The problem is that out files are not computerized which means quite often I have to go through each file to make sure everything is in order. Is there a better way in which I can manage my files?

Mervin,

To answer your question about managing files, the least you can do is to create an Excel spreadsheet with a column for expiration dates. Then you will be able to sort your spreadsheet by date and see what expires in the current month, current week, etc.

Without knowing the exact system and process you are doing, I would say the first project to do would be to organize everything. A good way to start doing that would be to computerize everything. I do not know how many files you are dealing with but if you start inputting everything into the computer it will make the job in the long run a lot more efficient. Best of luck with your work!
