Clutter FREE Me Day 9: Your Cell Phone

{Source}

Hello there people! As you know it was my birthday on Thursday. I planned to put this post up then, but I didn't plan for my b-day, let alone my weekend, to be so eventful. That surprise threw me off my blog game! So here is the second to last post for organizing your office space in this organization series.

In this day you can't walk across the street without seeing someone texting, tweeting, talking, or whatever on their cell phone. To either cut down costs or just for convenience, many of us also only use a cell phone and don't have a landline. Because of this, it is important that we keep our mini-computers tidy.

Here are a few tips to ensure you keep your cell phone organized for networking at meetings, conferences, or through social media:




  • Use business cards that you collect to make sure you have all the numbers you need in your cell phone. Also check the correct spelling of names and email addresses.

  • Have you ever gone through your phone and see a name that you don't remember? To prevent this from happening again, put where you met someone, or what you talked about with that person in the notes section in that contact's profile. *You can also putt these notes on the back of a business card right after someone gives it to you.

  • Get Evernote!!! Got a smart phone? Need an app to organize all your thoughts and desires? Evernote is what you need and it's free:) It allows you to create different notebooks and notes to it-- similar to Microsoft Office's OneNote. But, unlike OneNote, Evernote can sync across all the computers and cell phones you have. This means that when you add a note on your phone it syncs with your Evernote on your desktop at home and work if you choose. You can also clip articles anywhere on the web and send it to your Evernote.
