Let Liz tell you more about
 the Order From Chaos® system
in this new seven-minute video featuring
segments from her speaking engagements.

• Fifteen percent of daily interruptions are truly worth a worker’s time. 

• Ninety-five percent of everything you have saved for over six months can be thrown away.

    We’re brimming with cell phones, pagers, laptops, handheld computers, and other electronic organizers, and we still can’t bring our rented videos back to the video store on time. In ORDER FROM CHAOS, organizational guru Liz Davenport offers a simple six-step plan for getting our work and home lives in order. 

    This invaluable book uses the metaphor of an airplane’s cockpit to act as the center from which all of your organizational activity occurs. Each step should be executed over the course of one week as follows:

Step 1—Create the “Cockpit Office,” a space where you have only the essential tools necessary to do your work.

Step 2—Create an “Air Traffic Control” system that is one system for handling your appointments, to-do’s, and important notes, one day at a time.

Step 3—Create a “Pending File” to hold papers that require action at a later date, marked with the dates and actions needed on them.

Step 4—Make Decisions on items as they come in. Don’t put them off until later.

Step 5—Prioritize Ongoingly and constantly measure the importance of tasks you prioritized for the day against the random calls, faxes, and e-mails that come in.

Step 6—Plan Your Day, End Your Day, Clean Off Your Desk at the End of the Day. “Plan Your Day,” means to start your day by reviewing your daily calendar for what you have to do today. “End Your Day,” means to review your “to-do” list for that day and check off the tasks that are completed, reschedule any tasks that are still incomplete, and have closure for your day. “Clean Off Your Desk at the End of the Day” means just that! •
