What Our Readers Say   “As I work with hundreds of clients in a wide variety of industries, one thing is clear - being organized is one of the biggest challenges in business today. When I think of experts in the field of helping people get organized, Greg Vetter is at the top of the list. Greg's book will help you get rid of the clutter, and increase productivity many times over!” Mark Mayberry, International Speaker Author of In The Company Of Entrepreneurs “A Vetter Way® gave me back time for my life.” Tom Smith Services Executive IBM “Greg Vetter knows more about organizing your office than anyone else I have ever met. Period.” David Greenberg, CSP Author of Simply Speaking and Thank God It’s Monday! “I first had the privilege of meeting Greg in the early nineties. Greg has the unique ability to help one eliminate minutiae and focus on your priorities. I have found Greg’s Vetter Productivity system effective in not only my business, but my personal life as well.” J. Jackson Hill III President of Southern Operations The Equitable/AXA “How to get more done faster with fewer mistakes and no confusion! That’s what Vetter shows us how to do in Find It In Five Seconds. I only wish I could have met these ideas 15 years ago… they would have bought me twice the time I have had!” Russ Osmond President Change Strategies International “Vetter's thoughtful commentary on how to manage the reams of paper that breed in executive offices truly hit home. Comprehensive, witty and practical, these ideas have the power to immediately transform a cluttered workspace into a haven of productivity. There's no question; Vetter IS the expert!” Jean Houston Shore, CPA Partner Business Resource Group “To focus on anything this day is almost impossible...to focus on the right stuff is even more difficult. Greg Vetter gives practical advice on how to gain control again...and again.” Rex Kelly Director of Corporate Communications Mississippi Power   “I laughed, then I scolded myself, then I decided to take action. My first action: the in box. Now it's almost empty because I pitched, filed and answered. My second action: the pens...(it's easy when you try to hold them all at the same time and write). My second action: took magazines and catalogues to recycling. Hey, I'm on a roll. Tomorrow...my file cabinet drawer #1. Haven't touched it for a year to clean up. Thanks, Greg!” Jane Riley Power Plays Seminars Author of Energize Your Potential!   “Vetter Productivity fills a tremendous void in skills needed by all people in their business life. As most other people, I thought I had developed a system to be productive and proactive at work. My system was full of shortcomings that Greg's system addresses. His system is remarkably similar to what I was doing, but I did not have the discipline to actually have it formalized in an orderly fashion for use. You will probably modify the system somewhat, but I recommend following it to the letter and it will not let you down. I have recommended it to all my former colleagues and many use it. It's remarkable to me that A Vetter Way® is not mandatory curriculum in high schools and colleges.” M.V. Landry, Retired Beverage Industry Executive “Entertaining, inspirational, informative. To keep or not to keep is no longer the question because Greg Vetter has given us the formula for living a clutter-free life!" Anthony B. Thomas, "The Spark Plug" Author of Spark Plug Attitude “Your book shocked me into understanding how unconsciously I handle and file paper. Your ideas will save my time and peace of mind. I wish I'd had it 20 years ago.” Phil Kaplan, Vice-President, Salomon Smith Barney “I oversee 40 million square feet of buildings in 425 properties in 19 states with 700 employees. With Greg's help I can now track all of the groups’ work in 5 seconds and I have 2000% more time for new business." Brett Hunsaker Managing Director Insignia/ESG Inc “Greg Vetter’s excellent book will show you how to save time and focus on what’s really important.” Gregory P. Smith Author of The New Leader: Bringing Creativity and Innovation in the Workplace “Wow! Get your highlighter pen ready. Greg Vetter is a helper and a hoot! This tell-it-like-it-is book is smart ("it takes more work to evade a task than to accomplish it.") and witty ("if the paper in your hand is saved on the computer, then it's a duplicate. Pitch it!"). If you're like me, you won't be able to resist sharing Vetter ideas with your colleagues!” Doug Smart author of TimeSmart: How Real People Really Get Things Done at Work, co-author of Where There's Change There's Opportunity!   “This is the most useful method for organizing an office I have ever seen. If your office organization is getting in the way of your success, there is only one person to call, Greg Vetter.” John T. Brantley President, JTB COMMUNICATION, INC. Author, Speaker and Consultant “I've collected and stored enough unneeded paper to wallpaper... • the Great Pyramid • St Peters in Rome • the Louvre in Paris • the Great Wall of China and still have enough left to blanket the entire mainland of the U.S. Though I may have been my own greatest enemy for years Greg's book provides me with the logic, motivation, and many excellent tools to conquer my Pack Rat-itis. My work focus is productivity, results and generally I have allowed myself to slide on efficiency because I saw it got in the way and made up for it with fancy footwork effectiveness. The explanation, tools and techniques in this book truly helped me see where I can truly gain by using Greg's tools and systems.” Dr. Alan Black Author of BROKEN CRAYONS: Break Your Crayons and Draw Outside the Lines “I've used many of Greg's ideas to simplify my business and home life by eliminating needless clutter.

He points out how to use the system that is easy to read and understand. All scenarios can easily be identified as one of the things you do (and need help on) or you know someone that does it. You need a copy of this book for you and a copy for all of your friends!” Dr. Ed Metcalf Founder of CrossRoads Training, Inc. “For some people, getting to their desks is one of their main tasks during the day.” Greg, it’s your one-liners like this that just crack me up. I love your book. Very through. Great format. Congratulations on your BIG WIN.” Barbara Hannah Barbara Hannah Professional Coach “I am getting about 50% more stuff done per day than I was before. I attribute this mainly to having all of the Action items prioritized by importance or due date and separated from the non-action Support materials. I can simply get to the tasks easier and less clutter lets me work on these tasks more productively.” Rob Northrup President PlastEquip Inc.   “I had some down time on a cruise to the Caribbean and read your book. If I remember correctly, you claim your system can increase productivity by 50%. When I read that, I thought "no way!" But, I did implement your system thinking it might offer some relief from the stress. Simply put, your system is AMAZING! For the first time since I joined my current employer 12 years ago, my desk is clean. Not a scrap of paper on it. All my projects are being tracked, I am keeping up with everything. My stress level is way down and my productivity is up just about 50%. Initially, I wanted to share your system with the rest of the department. However, your system offers me such a strategic advantage, I am seriously thinking about keeping it a secret. Think of what will happen when my employer sees me producing 50% more than everyone else!” William C. Weaver Product Manager “Looks great-fun to read and full of information.” Judith Schonbak Writer   “Everyone will see themselves in Vetter’s compelling book.
