01 / Do it yourself

From zero to working.

Read the complete sequence before starting. Use a test account or non-production copy whenever the workflow touches important business data.

  1. 01
    STEP 1

    Create 00-Inbox inside your business files area.

  2. 02
    STEP 2

    Save temporary downloads there instead of the desktop.

  3. 03
    STEP 3

    At day end, file, delegate, or archive each item.

  4. 04
    STEP 4

    Keep shortcuts on the desktop, not source documents.

02 / Check before you change

Useful guardrails.

The inbox is temporary

Use a weekly reset if daily is unrealistic

Do not mix personal and client files

Automate only after the habit works
