How would you like to increase your productivity by at least 35%?
I’ve been in pursuit of improving my filing system for years. I’ve tried many different systems. At first, they would seem to be okay, but then became cumbersome and time consuming. Statistics show that we spend up to 35% of our time looking for something.
At this point, you probably think I’m going to try to sell you something. I’m not. I just want to share a timesaving tool with you that you already have and which may have slipped your notice.

Sometimes it costs us more not to do something than it does if we do it.
For example, I would much rather have someone else clean my house. It costs me X$ to have someone else clean it, while I can be creating new products that I can sell for X$.
If you would rather clean your own house because it’s your way of relaxing and thinking, that’s a different story. For me, it isn’t. I earn more per hour than I pay to get this chore done. Besides I prefer creating new information products.
Let me explain further.

I’m going to reveal a secret used by transcriptionists which aids in typing faster and more accurately, and can save all of us that important element called Time.
At first glance, this may seem to be contrary to my previous advice about creating products by recording your material. Not true. It’s still better to create information products by recording and getting transcribed. Nevertheless, all of us do have other instances when we have to type something – an email, a note, a blog entry, taking notes at a meeting.

From my own experience, here are two scenarios for you. Which one do you think can create information products faster and easier? Which one can create more information products? Which one is spending their time more efficiently and making more money?
At one time in my distant past, I was a legal secretary. I worked for two attorneys in a small, one secretary office in the San Fernando Valley in California.
One of the attorneys had to have me in his office so he could dictate his correspondence and legal documents, which I then transcribed from my shorthand.
Requiring me to be in his office while he dictated was both painful and time consuming. Read more

In a recent interview, grammarian expert Laura Jarnat revealed five easy steps to get your audience to read what you write. Laura has been a speaker and trainer for 15 years and has a passion for grammar. In fact, she will tell you she reads the Great Reference Manual for fun. Follow Laura’s advice in these five easy steps and your audience will be more likely to read what you write.
1. Consider your reader’s time and focus on what they want. Write at a level that is optimum for your reader to undersand. The current standard, and has been for a few years, is to write at the 8th grade level. You may think that’s ridiculous and a reflection of the educaition system in our country today. Really, it has to do with a commodity called “time” that we have in short supply. Very simply, it takes time to read anything that’s written at greater than the 8th grade level. Read more

My blog entry for this date will be general observations of some interesting things that have come across my desk in the last few days that I’d like to pass on to you. I hope you’ll read to the end and read “The Principle Of The Garbage Truck.â€
Partly because it is so closely related to transcription (or it could be), I’ve been interested in scrapbooking, but also partly because I like that sort of thing, although I’ve never had very much time to devote to it.
If you put together a scrapbook of family interest, one of the best things you can include is either an audio describing the pictures and events, or an audio and a transcription with a description. The latter really works well because it includes all of one’s modalities, hearing, seeing and reading. Read more

I hope you had as nice an April as I did. Went to my daughter and her husband’s for Easter. We had a great time. This is the first time none of the children were there. No Easter Egg Hunt or anything.When I was thinking about what I wanted to write in my Blog, I was beating myself up a little for being inattentive to it. I guess I belong to that “I’m scared of something new†bunch. I managed to procrastinate a lot in getting this done, so I’m going to have to take my own advice found in my new product at www.SuccessGuideOnline.com. It’s a CD and the transcript of how Jim Edwards overcame his own personal roadblocks to become the successful Info Marketer he is today.    Â
That brings me to the subject for today which is repurposing, make everything you do count more than once. Read more
Want to have fun some evening or Sunday afternoon — besides going to be the beach?Want to do something nice for your family?Â
You know all those photographs you have sitting around, some in shoe boxes, some in photo albums. Some have something written on the back, some not? Oh, what a pain that’s going to cause you and your family one of these days when no one can remember when the picture was taken, why or of whom.
Sit down with your digital recorder and start recording helpful information about the photographs. Number the photographs, or in some way catalog them so they correspond to the recording, transfer the digital recording to your computer, burn it to a CD and include it with the photographs.
Not only can you give the name of the person in the photograph, but you can tell something fun or informative about when the photograph was taken, add a little history to it — like, “This is my niece. She and her sister look so much alike you have to be sure to put the name and date on the photograph or you’ll never be able to tell them apart.â€
You get the picture — no pun intended. You can have fun remembering about the photographs and do something for you and your family in that future date when no one can remember about the picture.
