But why bother organizing your office? Is it simply one of those "shoulds" you inherited from childhood, like "make your bed" or "eat your vegetables"? Or do you think having your office organized will actually make a difference in the way you work?
If you think getting office organized will make your work better, you're right! Your ability to work comfortably and effectively determines how much you will enjoy it, which determines how successful you will be, which determines what sort of rewards you will reap. Let's face it, impressions matter and a cluttered, disorganized office is not the image you want for yourself (or even to yourself).
Besides, a better organized office will almost always be roomier even if you don't eliminate anything!
Soon, your performance will improve throughout your business as well as you will find how:
> You will quickly find what you are looking for instead of wasting time.
> You will be better able to prioritize because you will have clearly identified what you need to do.
> You will think more clearly because you won't be surrounded by clutter.
> Not only will you appear more competent, you will actually be more competent.
> You will feel more confident and in control of your life and business.
I want you to know right from the start that there is no one right way to be organized because everyone works differently. You may already be using some of them; others may spark new ideas. You will probably need to make some changes in the way you have been doing things. If you're tired of having a disorganized office, you should embrace your decision to make whatever changes are necessary. If you take the trouble to get your office organized better, there will be enormous benefits to be had.
Hope this helps you understand the importance of organizing your office as it affects many areas of your life.
