Thanks so much. Glad you found it useful.

Wow, Jacob, that’s no task. That is a major PROJECT. Good for you, for taking it on. It’s helpful that you enjoy genealogy. It’s fun learning how our ancestors are so much more than just parents. You truly honor their memories by doing this. Glad this video was helpful. Keep up the good work!

Thank you. Unfortunately, no. It seems to be out of print now.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you’re finding these helpful. Cross referencing is for connecting to other text that would elaborate on the first text, you read. The Post-it note headline is simply to connect you to something bigger then what’s in front of you. For example, if you want to make a point of working on your taxes, you might write a post that says “ add up home office expenses,” (the more specific the better). You would want to organize your filing system so that you are reliably connected to statements and tax documents, rather than have them piling up on your desk as a reminder. The goal is to completely avoid keeping piles as reminders on your clear desk (your number one organizing tool.) That’s the job of the post-it headline. Another emergency task may come along and you won’t have time to work on your taxes, so rather than having to move your tax pile off your desk back into your organizing system, you simply move the post it to another open part of your schedule and focus on the priority at hand, on your reliably clear surface.

@@MattBaierOrganizing Thanks for your quick reply! So, the letters on the Post-it headlines refer to other locations?

Oh, sorry. No, the letters in the upper left corner are shortcuts for regular actions I use like C for call, E for Email, G for research(Google), R for review, etc. Sometimes I put a number in the lower right corner for the amount of time I want to devote to this task. The idea is not to be too restrictive, but to just make you more time aware. With well organized project corrals and sitting files, you will know exactly where to look for the bulkier documents, but if they take some getting used to, then you would write a little reminder, maybe PCW for project corral, website folder, or SFT for sitting files, taxes.

@@MattBaierOrganizing Wonderful! Thanks for clarifying. I'm a freelance performing artist and I'm constantly juggling different kinds of projects and the business around them. I also do my work in various locations, so I love the idea of surveying my current projects in the morning and simply putting doable task post-its in my day planner to take with me, so I love the shortcuts shorthand. Maybe this can be the topic of a new video...?

I think so too, Christine,. Would you mind if I mentioned you as the inspiration for it?

You're so welcome! Glad you found it helpful.

Always happy to talk paper organizing. Is there an aspect of paper management that you haven’t seen in one of my other videos? Let me know and I’ll do a video on it.

Can you please do some videos on the best, easiest and quickest ways to declutter and organise vast quantities of paperwork into a sensible filing system. I am in the UK and prefer paper to digital. Thankyou.

Thank you! Glad this was helpful

It sure does. Thanks!

Thanks Nicky!

Thanks. Glad it was helpful!

Thanks, Kevin . You make a lot of good points!

You are so welcome!

You're welcome!

Thanks again for your kind comments. So glad you find my videos useful.

Wow, thank you! So glad you find these helpful. Is there a topic you’d like to see me cover?

@@MattBaierOrganizing Thanks Matt, for the moment I have a lot to yet learn from you and I am in the middle of my decluttering activities. By now I am really more than satisfied with your content. But.... what might be interesting is some kind of a making-off. Which were your most interest cases. how did you come to what you do and what were your fist steps in building your business. Also interesting might be: How would you prepare a car for Sales-people or for families etc. . A huge part of the life also takes part in a car and also here is an intense cluttering-potential.

Wow, that’s so great to hear, because that’s exactly why I do these videos. Thanks for your kind words.

Thanks Kevin! You’ve made my day.

Thank you for your kind words

Thanks. That’s well summarized. I think that when these fundamentals are on solid footing the details become much easier.

You got it. Limitations breed freedom.

Excellent! Glad it was helpful!

That’s it! The more these daunting projects become small, manageable tasks the less of a barrier there will be in your mind, so you’ll be more likely to get them done consistently.

Glad it was helpful!

Do I mention folders in this video?

@@MattBaierOrganizing No, I was binge-watching all your videos and left a comment on this one. Perhaps not the most organized way to leave a comment :)

You are so welcome! Glad you found this helpful.

Glad it was helpful! Many thanks

Thanks! That’s really nice of you to say. Not an engineer, but I sure do spend a lot of time thinking about ways to make things easier.

@@MattBaierOrganizing Thank yo so much !

You're so welcome!

You’re welcome. Glad you found this helpful.

Thanks for the kind words Kevin. Glad this was helpful. The basis for all my Organizing advice comes from my book, but I’m able to expand in more detail on my KZbin channel.

@@MattBaierOrganizing A brand new copy of your book is coming my way!

That's great to hear. Thanks.

Great question! In fact, you have inspired my next video "Organizing Pending Items." Would you mind if I included a shout-out to you in the video for your great question?

Thanks. I figured it was an easy way to visualize priority level.

You are so welcome! Glad this is connecting.

Thanks. Glad this was helpful.

If you only use labels occasionally, then you probably don’t need a product like this. One advantage is that the P-touch labels are laminated so they are more durable. Also, it does offer the unique option of being able to print white type on a clear label, which is a popular choice on clear Lucite pantry bins
