This was an amazing change and many administrators were at a loss without their administrative help. I overheard many conversations such as- It will have to wait until tomorrow, ____ is gone and I don’t know what’s on the schedule. What do you do in a situation like this?

What do you do?

The simple answer is the Five Minute Organizer. A simple tool for organizing your thoughts, goals and even your life. This simple little device requires no batteries, is totally customizable, and fits neatly in your pocket or purse. You can create one in five minutes and be on your way to organizing your day. With some simple options your desk will be transformed into an organization station. You’ll be able to see your appointments, daily goals and your next actions in one place.
