Did you know that 80% of what we file never gets looked at a second time? Take a minute and think about all the file cabinets, storage rooms and boxes filled with paper and stuff that may be around your office.

Maybe it’s time for an office clean out day! By making it a companywide project, it is more fun and more efficient if many people clean and reorganize together.
