Good Luck with Directorship.....:D
 
hey there
are you saving it when you find it, into a file? I have learned that as soon as I see something I like I just click on file, and then save as...
then I open that particular file category I have created (ie) recipes, HWC, bookings, recruiting, etc....or if I find a file that doesn't fall into any of those categories, I create a new one...
hope this helps

Happens to me all the time!!!!!!!!!! I'm getting better at saving after opening if it's something I like!
 
I've created a folder called pampered chef and then I have a ton of subfolders:

Booking
2007 - individual months
Bridal
Fundraiser
Recipes
Product
host coaching

Well I think I have like 30 folders. This has helped me a lot. When someone is looking for something here I check my folders, find the name of the file, and then include information on what search to use to find it or link to the thread.

How can I effectively save flyers and ideas I love?

To effectively save flyers and ideas, consider using digital tools like cloud storage services (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox) to keep your files organized and accessible. You can also create a dedicated folder on your computer or use a physical binder to categorize and store printed materials. Regularly review and update your collection to ensure it remains relevant.

What types of flyers and ideas should I focus on saving?

Focus on saving flyers that highlight new products, seasonal promotions, and successful recipes.

These resources can serve as inspiration for your own events and promotions.

Can I share the saved flyers and ideas with my team?

If you feel overwhelmed, take a step back and prioritize your materials. Start by sorting through your collection and identifying the most relevant and useful items. Consider creating a system to categorize your resources, such as by theme or season, and set aside time regularly to declutter and update your files. This will help you maintain a manageable and effective collection.
