Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.
A.A. Milne
As any self-respecting mom knows, A.A. Milne is the creator of Winnie the Pooh. This gentle, very Pooh Bear quote really boils organizing down to its essence. If you get something organized on the front end, your day-to-day “doing it” is not all mixed up!
The client who sent me this quote (a mom herself) mentioned in the same email that her husband absolutely loves working in his newly organized home office.
It’s amazing how putting in the hours organizing a home office can pay real dividends in the way you feel about working in that office. And doesn’t how you feel about working directly correlate to how productive you are? For most of us, our environment really does affect our workaday attitude.
Home office tip for the day:
Without getting out of your chair, you should be able to get a file folder, label it and file it in its proper drawer. Think about how you can set up your desk to create this time-saving process!
I have to confess that I also found this wonderful, antithesis-of-being-organized A.A. Milne quote:
One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.
Sound like any five year olds you know?
