Do you ever find yourself at the end of the day feeling like you started a lot of projects but didn’t get any of them completed?  By planning ahead you can stay more focused throughout the day and easily handle the unexpected.  Here are some tips to help you plan out the next day.

• Give yourself a little time at the end of the day, say 15 minutes or so, and create a list of tasks you want to have finished the next day.  Go over your calendar and check for any meetings or deadlines and add any of the things you weren’t able to finish today to your list.
  
• Get all documents that you will be using ready, by saving them to your desktop, so they will be easy to retrieve the following morning.  Have a file folder on hand to put any papers you will be using and leave this on your desk or work area so they will be readily available when you begin work the next day.
  
• Lastly, go over all of your office supplies, pens, highlighters, notepads etc. and replenish any of the items that are running low.  This way you will be able to come to work and focus on the tasks you have set out for yourself without having to worry about running out of ink or staples or any other minor distractions.

When we started using 100% recycled Marcal Paper I wondered how it would be received by our employees and so far so good. No complaints about scratchy toilet paper, flimsy paper towels; Marcal's recycled paper products perform as well as the virgin paper products we used to use. And if you wonder if it has an impact; take a look at this info from Marcal:

Each and every day Marcal's recycling saves...6,000 trees - 2,000,000 gallons of water - 22,000 pounds of air pollution - 140,000 gallons of oil - 30,000 cubic feed of landfill space!

Every single day! And over the course of a year Marcal recycles more than 220,000 tons of paper. And they do it without using chlorine bleach.

I'm very proud to announce that the GSA has awarded a Federal Supply Schedule Contract to BuyOnlineNow. Our contract # GS-02F-0121T Schedule 75-200 for a  variety of office products includes brand names such as Avery, 3M, Bankers Box from Fellowes, Smead and more. As we're only days into this 5 year committment we've got lots to learn but I expect that there will be a lot more GSA stories in the future.

Ron Wallin, FireKing's National Sales Manager, spent the day here yesterday teaching us about FireKing's line of record protection files, safes & vaults. I had always thought of FireKing's products as fireproof files. Ron explained that "fireproof is only one feature of our products. Their real purpose is vital records protection; to protect a business's irreplaceable records from fire, theft, impact damage and explosions!" We were also surprised to learn that 59% of customers believe that their files are protected from fire if they are stored in a metal file cabinet. Ron explained that while the metal won't burn, that doesn't protect the papers inside from the heat of the fire, which can result in spontaneous combustion inside the cabinet.
