Manual: How to Setup a Personal Reference Book

For the Office:

STOP posting reference material on your cubicle walls, whiteboards and bulletin boards.

For the Home:

STOP posting flyers all over your refrigerator!

START clearing the mess, presenting a professional appearance, and accessing important information within 30 seconds.

You need the information FAST,
and you need it in ONE PLACE –
your Personal Reference Book

Office Does this scenario happen to you?

Someone calls for information, and you search for it. You know it is hanging up somewhere on your cubicle walls, but you are not sure where.

First you skim the papers on top searching for it. Maybe you even have to put the phone down to move to the other end of your cubicle.

Then you start lifting papers up to look under them: one, two, or three sheets underneath. Suddenly the thumbtack comes out and the pages are strewn all over. You pick them up and toss them in a pile on your desk. Frustrated, your eyes dart around the cubicle walls quickly, searching for that elusive information. Minutes go by. You still haven’t found the information you need. So you tell the customer you will have to call them back. Five or ten minutes later, you find what you are looking for. 20 minutes later and stressed out, you haphazardly hang everything back up — knowing you will search for something another day.
Home You are in a hurry to leave the house. You start looking for the flyer that tells where your child’s sports or scout activity will be. You look at the top layer on the bulletin board or the refrigerator door. You do not spot it, so you start digging underneath the top flyers. Papers start falling down all over the floor. You are late. You need to get going. Frustrated, you leave hoping you will have time to come home and find it later — or thinking you could call another parent.

Can you relate to either or both of those scenarios?
Have they happened to you?
Have they happened more than once?

Do you have notes or lists posted on your cubicle walls, bulletin boards or refrigerators?
Does your cubicle, bulletin board or refrigerator look like a war zone?
Do co-workers tease you about the appearance of your cubicle?
Are you embarrassed to have others see your refrigerator?

Would you like to find it fast?
Then the Personal Reference Book is what you need.

When you get requests for the same information, you are tempted
to hang it up so it will be visible and ready for you.

But is it visible?

Can you even read it?
OR
Do you have to life layers of papers in order to see it?

What if there was another way?

What if you to never had to look under papers
for buried information?

What if you never again had thumbtacks fall out
leaving papers strewn on your desk or floor?

How would you like to actually look at your cubicle walls
and enjoy the open space?

*Would you like clear refrigerator doors?

How would you like to still find that same information
within 30 seconds AND in one easy to view place?*

How to Setup a Personal Reference Book- :

Clears your cubicle walls, bulletin boards and refrigerator doors
Helps you put all of those items you need to refer to in one place.
Puts everything at your fingertips.
Lets you access the information you need within 30 seconds.

It is easy to setup.

All you need are 3 supplies:
- A binder or notebook
- Dividers
- Sheet protectors

OR just 1 supply:
- a Presentation Book (for a smaller Reference Book)

What is a Presentation Book?
It is a small book with built-in or bound sheet protectors.

What is in this manual?

You will find suggestions for 12 categories for your book
AND
Checklists of items to include within each of those categories.

As I was writing the Office version, I realized the Home version was very similar, so I combined the two into one manual. However, you still want to setup 2 separate books: one for the Office, and one for the Home.

< You could put this together in 2 hours or less!

Think of the time you will save!
- No more loose papers.
- No more looking under layers of papers.
- No more frustration searching for needed information.

Think of what you will gain:
- A professional looking office. - Visible refrigerator doors. - Able to find information in seconds. - A feeling of relaxation and comfort.
