There’s just one solution to become better organized – do more things.

If you have 100 files to organize, you might do this task or not. Even if they are not organized, they are just 100 files. You can browse through 100 files.

But if you have 10,000 files to organize, there’s just one option – be organized. You can’t browse through them, you need a system.

If you have 5 meetings, you might remember them. If you have 50 meetings, you need to an organizational solution.

You can’t remember 50 meetings, thus you need to become organized.

Of course, you can become organized with 5 meetings and 100 files, but there’s less external pressure to do so.

If I’m not at home and someone sends me an important message on WhatsApp / SMS/text message, there is an issue: if I open the message, I will not see it as unread at home.

The solution is simple: copy & paste the message to a notes app, and, also, always reply to the message with a question, asking for a reply.

Thus, when you get the second message, you will have an unread message at home.

Sometimes, at conferences, companies give participants goodies.

My tip for them: give very quality items if you sponsor multiple events.

For example, the pencils from Fan Courier are in a class of their own. They’re top quality, and it’s hard to find better pens.

Whenever I go to a conference, I pretty much know that if Fan Courier is a sponsor, they’ll give away some quality products.

So, what to do?

• Give quality items if you participate in multiple events;
• Keep the quality consistent; you can increase the quality level, never decrease it; if you give a good pen today, keep the quality for the future;
• Think of products that your audience will use; for example, it’s rather unlikely people will use a keychain with a large logo of a brand.
