After I started up my own company, I began carefully considering the different ways that I wanted things to grow. I really wanted to use our marketing efforts to spread the word about our company, so I worked with a team of professionals to make my business stand out. Although it was intimidating at first, we quickly discovered that our changes were really helping. We found ourselves succeeding where our competitors had failed, and it was exhilarating to watch the business grow. On this website, I wanted to share great information about resolving business problems and taking care of things proactively.
Three Office Tasks That Are More Fun Than Shredding Paper
Paper shredding is generally enjoyable. It seems so satisfying to be purposefully and usefully destructive with printed documents and sheets of paper you do not need anymore. But perhaps you did not realize that there are three office tasks more fun than shredding paper. You really should try the following.
High-Speed Digital Document Scanning
For all of those documents you either do not want to keep or want to digitize and store on your business's computer system, there is document scanning. Digital document scanning can be done by using a hand scanning device or a desktop scanning device. If you choose the latter, you can continuously feed documents into the scanner, and then the scanned documents can land in a box on the floor underneath the scanner and your desk. High-speed digital document scanning is accomplished by using a special feature on some newer office printers/scanners/fax machines. The sheer speed at which these devices move tends to generate some excitement due to how fast you and an extra employee or two can scan large stacks of paper documents and have them all upload to your business's computers. If you do not have a document scanning device at your disposal, take your documents to a company like Indigital Inc, and they'll take care of it for you.
Clearing the Mysteries out of the Break Room Fridge
If you do not have a sensitive stomach, you might enjoy this task. It involves digging every strange and seemingly old container out of the break room fridge and freezer, opening them to see what is inside, and emptying containers into the garbage before placing the empty containers in the sink. Half the fun is trying to figure out what the food is. If your office break room also has a garbage disposal in the sink, you should consider dumping the old food into the garbage disposal, grinding it up, and sending it down the drain so that the smells from the mess do not linger in the break room garbage.
Redecorating
New paint, new wood, new fixtures, new furniture: whatever it is you are doing to redecorate the office requires making a budget and deciding whether or not you are going to do some of the work yourself. Some people find it very relaxing to do office redecorating. Maybe all you can do is paint or add wallpaper borders to the walls, but you still might find it more exciting than shredding paper.
