Putting the problems with your physical work space to one side, what about your virtual work space, your virtual office? If you also work online then you will know that sometimes information is stored on paper (hard copy) and sometimes it is stored on your PC and sometimes it is stored on both mediums. But as your business grows, so does the amount of information that you need to store. What then becomes critical is the organisation of your information.
