_____________________________________________________________________________

Disorganization and inefficiency, whether in our personal lives or at work, can cause increased stress levels, lower morale, increased absenteeism, and higher turnover.

But, the truth is, everyone has a different brain type, thinking style and working style.  So too, everyone has a singular style of organization that works for them. Sometimes, though, we need help identifying our style and knowing where to begin.

These 6 powerful tips will help jumpstart your action towards organization and efficiency, whether it’s within your physical space, or your life in general. Ultimately, an organized life is a more peaceful life.

Tip #1 Before you begin; Stop, Think and Plan

Overall organization starts with the mind. We must first understand how we think, and then create a plan based upon that understanding.  Ask yourself what is causing the issue? Is it your desk? Your calendar? Your files? Too many projects?

Once you know the cause, you can choose solutions from there. This tip can apply to physical space and time management issues.

Tip #2 Organizing the inside of your desk:

For desk drawers, use “dividers” that you find around your space-baskets, plastic containers, small bowls- and sort like-items into them.

Here’s what you need to determine in order to best organize your desk.

1. What do you need on the desk DAILY to get work done?
2. What do you need NEARBY but not necessarily on the desk?
3. What doesn’t fit either category is best removed.

Tip #4 Organizing multiple projects:

1. Use what you have around your space-plastic tubs, boxes, baskets and sort each             project into a container.
2. Keep those sorted containers nearby.
3. Only bring them out when you need to work on that project.
4. When project is complete, file and store the items in that container, and start over.

Tip #5 Plan, then shop.

Figure out your needs first using divider containers you have on-hand. Then go shopping for similar items that match, are attractive and functional. This will save both time AND money.

Tip #6 Dealing with distractions:

1. Turn off notifications on your phone and computer when at work on a project.

Check them when your brain is ready to receive the information.

2. Remove all the sticky notes from your desk/work area and put into one single pile.             When your brain is ready, look at them and sort them into each project bin.
3. Schedule an appointment with yourself to work on projects.

Put it on your calendar. Set a reminder.

4. Time estimation is extremely important. Be certain to block enough time for yourself                                     to fully work on the project. Listen to your “gut” number, then double it!

Once you learn your organizational needs and stresses, you can create your own systems around them. Whether you are using color coded files, binders or baskets, your system will be unique to you, and will help you achieve simply the best results!
