Talked to a friend this morning about their work, and in particular about how much “Pink Stuff” she had to deal with.
“What is Pink Stuff? I asked. Pink Stuff is all the paperwork, correspondence and other stuff that clogs up your day, preventing you from focussing on whats really matters. Pink Stuff might be administrative or financial tasks, reading general information, or just junk mail, but it demands that you deal with it.
How much time though? Do you ever sit back and wonder where the morning has gone? Maybe you are dealing with more Pink Stuff than you think…
If you are spending too much on the Pink Stuff, maybe you need someone to help look after it, so you can focus on the important stuff.

The Federation of Small Businesses reckons that a day a week is taken up dealing with paperwork, especially paperwork relating to regulation and compliance. They’ve got a great video asking small business owners what they do with an extra seven hours a week – most said they would do more training with their staff or create another job.
