Do your file cabinets runneth over? Can’t see your desk for all the paperwork clutter? We’ve discussed some methods of file organization before — Smead’s color coding system changed my life! — but we haven’t talked about the #1 culprit in messy: too much stuff.

Reluctant to trash files and documents? That reluctance is standing between you and an organized office. I just came across this great LifeHacker tip on reducing paper clutter in your office: regularly scheduled one on one time with your paper shredder. Daily, monthly and quarterly paper shredding will clear some serious clutter and free up file cabinet space. Go through your mail and inbox daily, your files monthly and quarterly, and run the documents you don’t need through the paper shredder Mail, bills, pay stubs, credit card statements — all candidates for the paper shredder. And be sure to shred old document, not just toss them in the trash. Neglecting to shred your documents is like the #1 way to become a victim of identity theft.

Product Review of the Day — Spotlight on Pendaflex Hanging File Tabs

Posted on March 29, 2013 by Frankye

We love to hear what you think of our office products and service at On Time Supplies. Sometimes we get a review so great that we have to share it and brag on ourselves and our great brands! We got a great review on Pendaflex® Transparent Colored Tabs for Hanging File Folders just the other day. If it’s time for you to re-order file tabs, one of our customer thinks you should give Pendaflex File Tabs a try.

I LOVE Pendaflex Hanging File Tabs!

These file folder tabs are the best of this size and design that I’ve used. The slots at the top for inserting the plastic holders for labels are excellent; they’re not too tight, like most brands, and allow the insertion of the plastic labels without tearing the paper around the slot. This applies whether you use the small 1/5 cut labels or, like I, the longer 3 1/2-inch plastic holders for the 1/3 cut labels. Not only is this a good product, but it certainly worth mentioning that OnTimeSupplies.com is itself an exceptional company, based on my many years of experience with businesses, both online and ‘brick-n-morter’. The service has been excellent, efficient, and faster than you would expect; great communication, too. You won’t be disappointed!!!

Try Pendaflex® Transparent Colored Tabs For Hanging File Folders today.

Video: How to avoid eyes strain when working in front of a computer all day.

Posted on March 18, 2013April 5, 2021 by Frankye

https://www.google.com/sorry/index?continue=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DvT1N1Pwc50w&q=EhAmADwAAAAAAPA8kf_-OlQIGP2S-4AGIhkA8aeDS0peIEuFDZuPWuE052ruVfo_JXh6MgFy

If your eyes burn, neck aches or vision blurs by the end of the work day, you are suffering from eye strain. Computer-related eye strain is a pretty common workplace complaint. Luckily, eye strain also pretty easy to remedy. This CNET video offers some pretty great tips on improving the workplace ergonomics and reducing eye strain. Most of them involve making a few free, easy changes to your workstation. But there are a few things OnTimeSupplies.com can help you with. These inexpensive office supplies will help you reduce eyestrain while you work.

	Desk Lamps: reduce eye strain with indirect lighting. Harsh overhead lights aggravate eye strain. Instead, position a desk lamp next to your computer for gentler indirect light. Check out our buying guide for more information on choosing a desk lamp.
	Monitor Stands: reduce eye strain with optimal computer monitor placement. The top of your computer monitor should be at eye level. If your monitor is too low, use a monitor riser or two to raise to the optimal height. FYI: you’ll find a great post on improving the ergonomics in the workplace at the OnTimeSupplies.com Knowledge Base.
	Monitor Filters: reduce eye strain by muting back lighting & glare. The CNET vid actually recommends yellow-tinted glasses. But who wants to go to work looking like a 90’s era boy band reject? Unless you work for Lou Pearlman, use a monitor filter to mute the harsh back light of your computer screen and reduce reflected glare. Get tips on choosing the best filter for your computer screen at the OnTimeSupplies.com Knowledge Base.
	Copyholders: reduce eye strain with properly position reading. Use a copyholder to position your your reading material should be upright and adjacent to your computer monitor.

Video: Color Coding File Folders

Posted on March 15, 2013April 5, 2021 by Frankye

You can consider this a video followup to our post on color coding office files. We got a lot of great information from Smead for that post, and now they’ve put it all together in a quick two minute video. Basically, you want to break down your files into 4-6 categories, and then assign a color to each category.

After color coding, you can identify filing categories at a glance. That makes it a lot easier to file and retrieve documents. Check it out the Smead Organomics video today.
