Statistics abound on the amount of time entrepreneurs and executives waste looking for information in their offices.  However, what other people do is irrelevant to you - the question is:  "How much time do YOU waste?  How much energy do YOU spend looking for what you need or feeling guilty about what you haven't done - or how your office looks -- and what are you willing to do about it?

You may have convinced yourself that your cluttered office doesn't really matter - or that if you got organized, you would stifle your creativity.  Think of it this way:  Your ability to accomplish any task or goal is directly related to your ability to find what you need when you need it. In other words, if you can't find it, you can't do it.

People often fear that their office is the "worst," - but in fact, how your office compares to someone else's doesn't matter either.  What really matters is what changes you're willing to make. To get control of your time, space and information, you must make a decision and back it up with action.

Clutter is Postponed Decisions®

Desks are piled with clutter because you haven't decided whether to keep it, where to keep it, or how long to keep it.

But making the decision is not enough.  Once you decide, you have to implement the decision, and that's where a SYSTEM becomes crucial..

While most offices have filing systems, very few have filing systems that work--or what we call finding systems.  The problem?  Naming your files.  The same information can be filed in numerous ways, for example:  car, auto, Toyota, vehicle--and often times is filed in numerous ways, resulting in wasteful, non-productive duplication, and more time spent searching for the information.

So whether you have piles of papers on and around your desk, or even neat looking, color coded files in your filing cabinet, if you can't FIND the information when you need it, it makes no difference how messy or neat your office looks.

The solution?  A 'finding system'.

A great example of an efficient finding system is Google. If you're looking for information on the internet, you simply enter a word into a box, click 'search', and voila! You are immediately directed to the information you're looking for.

• Imagine doing a Google search of the files in your filing cabinet.
• Imagine finding electronic files related to the files in your filing cabinet, all within one 'search'.
  
• Imagine having one workspace with information at your fingertips for every project you're juggling.
• Imagine being able to access all of your resources from any internet connection--even on your iPhone or Blackberry.
• Imagine a truly productive environment.

We imagined all of these things. And iPEP was born.
