Can you view your email through Outlook Express? That's been a wonderful tool for me. When you download to OE, you can save to your hard drive so you can keep all of your messages.
I currently have my Alumnae Chapter, Corporation and Active Chapter emails separately. Then I can open up sub folders within each of those if things get detailed - ie Recruitment, ByLaws revisions, etc.
I also have a HUGE binder. I am fastidious (sp?) about getting loose paper in the proprer section.
One of things I'm facing is that I've been the Chapter Adviser now for three years. There are a lot of things I just "know." So, I've been working on each officer - ideas. I have each officer's job description and behind that tab I put things down as I think of them and as they need to do things with dates. At the end of this school year, I'm going to go through them and organize them by date and typed and put back into the binder. That way the next CA can already have that info.
Most importantly, you can take all of our ideas and combine them, but if you don't feel comfortable doing them, you'll end up not following through. Do what feels right.
Good Luck! Our jobs aren't always easy, but they can be SO rewarding!
