One of the things I have been trying to deal with since last November/December is time management. You see when my immediate supervisor quit on us I was propelled into her position/responsibilities. The hardest thing has been supervising 4 people under me and then keeping all of our audit projects moving forward via client meetings, manager meetings, and then my own reviewing over work that has been performed. Often times I’m either buried under a stack of papers at my desk (I prefer to see everything hard copy rather than review by soft copy) or I have a to-do list that is a mile long. So not fun!
So since I am a paper reviewer I’ve been trying to figure out a quick and easy way to mark things as I look them over and are done with them. As auditors, we keep everything we work with until we file the audit then whatever doesn’t make the official hard copy file - either was scanned into our databases or was just copies of spreadsheets kept electronically- gets tossed. So I tonight I was thinking maybe a couple of customized rubber stamps that say reviewed, completed, and for follow-up. I thought this could be a really easy way for me to keep track of all my papers and things I need to do. Anyone have any good tips/suggestions that you use to stay on track and organized at work?

The rubber stamps sound like a good idea. I would also use the stamps on file folders or file jackets to help organize the papers. Or if you paper stacks are large maybe having baskets with each stamp on a label would help to organize the papers.
