Would you like to be more organized?
If you want to spend more time focused on your marketing, you will probably benefit from investing time in organizing your office.
Do you have a sense that if you could just get organized, you could accomplish more?
Most people tolerate a messy office.
It’s a little annoying to be stuck in an office where you have trouble finding things.
And what if your home office is in your kitchen, and your files are in your kitchen cabinets?
Many people have worked hard to cut down on paper and now most of their information and files are stored online, in the cloud.
And while storing your data in the cloud takes up less space, can you find it any more easily? Maybe yes. Maybe no.
To keep things simple, let’s focus on one area: your desk.
Most people sit at a desk when they are working.
I understand that you might sometimes work on a couch, or lounge on your bed with your laptop. That’s cool! But a lot of work is spent sitting at a desk.
First, will cleaning up your desk really make a difference?
Here are the benefits of an organized desk:
-It will be easier to find important things on your desk
-Your desk will be clean and not sticky
-Your office supplies will be handy, saving you time
-You can finally clean up that layer of post-it notes you tacked up
-Your monitor will clean so you see more clearly
-You’ll feel more confident
Sounds much better, right?
So while this is not likely going to bring in a bunch of revenue, it just might inspire you to do something wonderful in your business.
Here are 4 tips to clean up your desk:
1. Grab a few boxes and clear everything off your desk
This is simply the best strategy if you really want to clean your desk. But be careful to sort things first so you don’t lose track of important information.
2. Wipe down your desk and devices top to bottom
Yep, clean that desk. Scrub it. You know you want to do it!
3. Choose what to return back to your desk
File away papers that don’t need to be on your desk. Collect office supplies and keep them handy.
4. File or put away anything else
Find a new home for everything else.
OK. Sounds pretty simple, right?
