We spend our lives on our phones and computers. So why are you still searching through piles of paper and recreating documents on your computer? 

It’s time for you to declutter, create a digital file system and organize it all!

There are six sexy systems every mompreneur needs to implement in her business whether you are just starting out or if you’ve been in business for years. Click here to see what the three priority systems are because they are the foundation that a successful business is built on. 

So let’s talk about your file management system because it impacts your productivity and your ability to find what you need to operate your business and to respond to requests in a timely manner. The existence or lack of existence impacts your bottom line. 

There are three specific benefits you can experience by creating a digital filing system:

1. It saves you time
2. It saves you money
3. It reduces mom guilt

The goal of a digital file management system is to help you locate files easily and create consistent practices in your business. But always remember that no one organizes the exact same way so I’m going to give you three steps to help you get started.

1. Create a file structure that works for your business
2. Work in small increments to avoid getting overwhelmed
3. Stick to your system

Make sure you organize your files based on how you operate your business. And even after you get your file management system in place, don’t be afraid to change it up if what you’ve created isn’t a perfect fit! The most efficient system will only come about through trial and error.

In episode 16 of the podcast, I expand on the three steps and I share a basic folder structure to help you start creating your file structure.
