As we’re entering the new year, we are once again faced with a highly critical yet greatly dreaded task of organizing for tax preparation. Every year we avoid the tasks of preparing for April 15, yet we could avoid most of the stress by adopting simple tools that can be maintained easily year-round.

Consider the key pitfalls of poor organization to tax preparation: we run the risk of misplacing important receipts, rack up hourly fees for tax preparers to wade through unorganized receipt piles and potentially miss out on maximizing our deductions, resulting in a lower return or higher payout of our hard earned money. In addition, we are unnecessarily adding a stressor in our lives that could have been avoided if we simply “had a system!”

It’s a fast-paced world. Most people have too much to do and very little time to accomplish it, whether they are CEOs or soccer moms. This is why so many people still struggle to get their offices, cubicles, and storage rooms organized. So what’s the cure for too much clutter?

Tired of office work cluttering the kitchen table?

Do you want to expand your bill-paying center at a makeshift desk into a workable home office? Working at home is not just a lifestyle decision, it’s a business proposition. That means you’ll need more than a computer and desk, but a renewed focus and approach to how you work at home. To help you concentrate with work in your home office and ensure productivity, consider the following tips when setting up your home office.

1. Stake out a space. Many homes today have areas specifically designed for home offices, located either off the kitchen or in a nook in the upstairs hallway overlooking the family room. If that doesn’t describe your home, it is time to consider the possibilities. Unused bedrooms make good home offices as does a corner of the family room or basement. Depending upon how neat you are or how easily you’re distracted, you’d probably want to choose an area with a door that can be closed off from the rest of the house. Some people want to be far away from the kids or have a door to close out the children while others want or have to be able to see and hear their kids, especially, if they are working from home during the day with a toddler.

90% of your message will be forgotten 24 hours after your presentation.

Still think you don’t have the time it takes to create great handouts? The right handout package does more than keep your copier busy, it’s an encore of your presentation. Plus, with a little planning and know-how, your handouts can become tools that’ll help you reach even bigger goals!

Cardinal has the tips and tools you need to create dynamic handouts that work for YOU!

1. Display your contact information on the outside cover of your handout where it can be found instantly.
2. Proofread, proofread, proofread. Your credibility is at stake.
3. Charts, graphs and diagrams are far more impactful than words.
4. Nothing is more convincing than customer testimonials.
5. A company overview or a biography of key executives is a great lead-in section for handouts. Remember, it’s easier for people to do business with companies they know.
