When You Need a System

You know you need a system when:

You spend a sizable amount of time looking for the same material on project after project;

You have 12 versions of a document in your computer and no clue as to which is the one that should be used;

You have customized a basic product so frequently that it is difficult to determine just what is the basic product;

You would have to engage in a lengthy training session to get a stranger up to speed on your records and filing;

You handle the same task differently with each project because you don't have a defined technique for handling it; and

You don't have a clue as to where and why the bottle-necks exist.
