ORGANIZATIONAL EXPERT: DOWN WITH PAPER CLIPS
ORGANIZATIONAL EXPERT: DOWN WITH PAPER CLIPS
NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) An expert in organizing is giving a thumbs down to the lowly paper clip. Professional organizational trainer Hope J. Lafferty claims paper clips are the arch-nemesis of effective filing because they mangle paper and can get caught on other pieces of paper in a file. She says paper clips also add to the clutter on your desk because theyre hard to store and seem to have a mind of their own by getting caught in your chair or your computer mouse. Lafferty recommends using staples instead and you can always use a paper clip as a stress-releasing toy to twist to your hearts content.
