10. Errands
Keep a small spiral notebook near you at all times. Any time you think of something you need to get or do when you're out write it in the notebook. When you have time to run errands look over everything in the notebook and plan your trip accordingly. It's fun and just plain feels good to cross off items as you accomplish them.

11. Paper
When was the last time you saw your kitchen counter? Chances are it's covered in paper and maybe your kitchen table too. Since today'smail is tomorrow's pile always start going through and handling today's mail first. Read the article on Elizabeth's website about setting up a Command Center to take care of all the mail and daily paper.

12. Paper
Use the 4 D's of Paper Management - Do it if it takes 2 minutes or less, Delegate It if it can be done by someone else, Delay It by pupping it in the Command Center or filing it if there's no action with it, or the best D - Dump It if the paper has no value. It's amazing how little paper we really need to keep!
