Why is it that unorganized people rely so much on paper? Here’s the problem:

My way…

  1. Enter data into the computer
  2. Print out want I want later

Unorganized…

  1. Write all information down on a post-it note
  2. Forget about the computer for now
  3. Add all post-its (except the lost one) to computer at some later date

When an entire company is run off a program driven by a database, that database must always be up to date. There is no time to use (and lose) post-it notes. All information should be entered on the fly. Any delay in information can cause huge mistakes…after all, you’re not the only one on the database.

My point…before you become a part of the system, you must first understand it.
