If you are planning a wedding, personalize the binder that has all the plans in it, with wedding pictures.
There are SO many things you can do with these binders….

I have to admit that the first time I saw them all piled up on a table at SocialLuxe in NYC… they didn’t sweep me away. It wasn’t until I saw the what I could do with them.
I created one for a client with their logos on it (in a really fun way). Those binders will be used to present marketing information to a big name Brand. Neat idea huh?

Once I created my own binder….now I have all kinds of ideas of what other binders I would like to make for my kids to use. (and a few more of my own….recipes!! )

Tips from Peter Walsh (part 3)

Tips from Peter Walsh

More tips from Peter?  Here a a couple of thoughts directly from Peter Walsh. These were given to me from Office Max to use if I chose to.  I did decide to pass on this info..because I figured you would enjoy learning from him as much as I do.

Filing: Use a vertical file organizer for “active” files. Reserve your desk inbox for items that need to be dealt with pronto. Name your file folders with nouns. Use the ones that first pop into your mind when you need the material. Banish the concept of a miscellaneous file from your life. If something is worth putting in a file folder, it’s worth putting in a folder than has a specific label. (Peter Walsh)

My question for Peter on the video I did with him was about filing.  Paper work seems to be one of the biggest stumbling blocks for most clients.  How to make a file system work for you. So it is something that you will use.  A perfect system set up but unused is of no good to anyone.  Filing like anything needs to be maintained.

Binders: For travel, business and leisure create a different binder devoted to your important documents. For example, when creating a travel binder, include pocketed folders to store airline tickets and receipts, a contact section storing important phone numbers, and a location portion highlighting hot spots and destination details.

I love using binders.  I have one (color coded mind you) for different projects I am working on.  Depending on how big the project is, I can use just a folder with pockets too.  But bigger projects and for my different clients I do use binders and keep them in different colors for visiual quick identification.

Disclosure:  I was not paid to do this post. It was my decision and the information from Peter was given to me. The orange comments are my own.
