\"\"<\/a>Here is a story from a blog reader about work and bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

Janis:\u00a0 I have a process I use for all of my work projects. I work in television marketing so I often have a lot of different articles, press releases, pictures, DVD\u2019s etc that go with one project. First of all, doing marketing when you\u2019re depressed is more of a challenge than most people ever experience at work. I\u2019ve thought of quitting many times, but the good days make up for the bad days. This is why I have to be organized before I start calling people to book my clients. I know that a lot of agents do all of their stuff straight from the computer. Some days I can do this- but on depressed days, I can\u2019t remember where I put my files and I often feel overwhelmed simply by the logistics of my work instead of the work itself. So, I got large, single accordion files and use one for each client. It\u2019s old school- I remember doing it before there was so much on the computer. I use a label maker and put the name of the client, their phone number, email and address on the outside of the file. I then put everything associated with the client in the file. I keep these files in a box by my desk where I can see them. It\u2019s a lot different than keeping the information in a closed file cabinet. I feel comforted knowing everything I need is there in a nice, clean file. It\u2019 more work to print out stuff and put it in the file, but it\u2019s easier than searching my email folders all day. **<\/p>\n

I have to do the same thing. I need to see something before I can figure it out- then I move to the computer.<\/p>\n
