Keep your work space organized
Yes, well. Some of us (*coughcough*) have a little trouble keeping our work areas organized. And those spaces are nowhere near tidy.
Papers everywhere, piled high.
Pens that don’t write.
Pencils that need to be sharpened.
Cords… in this electronic age, there are cords and cables of every kind – power cords, USB cables, chargers, and more.
Flash drives, CDs and DVDs, magazines, books, file folders, notebooks. The paperless movement didn’t really seem to reduce the volume much.
What does your work space say about you? What does it say about how your brain works, and how you get things done? What does it say about how responsible you are?
Would you hire a mechanic with a disorganized garage?
Would you go to a restaurant where they didn’t know what veggies were in the fridge?
Would you get your nails done in a salon where they had to dig in a drawer to find the nail file?
We’re going to spend 15 minutes a day cleaning up and organizing our work space. Because we’re better workers than we appear right now.
