BE CONSISTENT IN FOLLOW THROUGH WITH ANY ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEM YOU ADOPT. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY EFFECTIVE TRACKING AND ORGANIZING METHODS, ONE OF THE SIMPLER PLANS IS TO USE THE ACRONYM:
S = SORT THROUGH THE STACK.
P = PURGE, TAKE AN ACTION ON THIS ITEM OR GET RID OF IT-NOW!
A = ASSIGN IT A PLACE, A FILE, A BOX, OR A TRASH CAN.
C = CONTAINERIZE IT; FILE IT, BOX IT, PICK UP PHONE TO RESPOND, OR OUT IT GOES!
E = EQUALIZE IT. THIS MEANS MAINTAIN IT, IF NOT DAILY, THEN WEEKLY.
CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY
