5 Most Common Organizing Mistakes and How to Stop Making Them

Overview:

The average person wastes more than 150 hours every year just looking for the stuff they need to do their job. That’s like losing almost a month every year just looking for what you need. What if you could get all of that back? What if order ran your life instead of chaos? What if you could increase your productivity while lessening your stress levels?

Ask yourself, do you:

  • Have permanent piles on your desk/next to your desk/under your desk/on the file cabinet?
  • Have no visible flat surfaces anywhere near you?
  • Invent a "special place" to put "important papers" that you will need later and then can’t find them when you need them?
  • Wake up at 3 AM screaming "Oh no! I forgot to___!"
  • Make lists of what you need to do and still have the same list at the end of the day?
  • Deal with whatever comes up rather than the truly important tasks?

If you answered yes to many of these questions then you are like 60% of us. We disorganized are always attracted to the nearest shinny object, which is seldom what we SHOULD be focusing on. These 5 simple points will increase your awareness of what you are doing (much of it is unconscious) and then show you quick simple fixes that are easy to set up and maintain. Increase your productivity and decrease your stress all at the same time.
