Reputation COUNTS

Tomorrow, January 12^th, is a nationally celebrated day to help you get all that clutter off your desk.  A neat looking office space does wonders for your own psyche as well as creating the impression that you are organized and professional.

Back in December I wrote about taking time over the Thanksgiving holiday to organize my home office.  I threw away old files, magazines I never read, and articles I cut out and didn’t use.  Then I put files that I would like to refer to occasionally in boxes to store in the basement.

I’m touching on this subject again because of the Clean-Off-Your-Desk day tomorrow and because I’m still quite amazed about the difference it has made to me.  It is now easy to get a file out and put it back when I’m done because I know exactly where it should go.  It’s been over six weeks and there are no stacks of papers any where!

I encourage you to take the time to clear away the clutter.

Over Thanksgiving I decided to organize my home office.  That meant throwing away outdated files, papers, journals, and books I no longer use.

I’ve always known that everything needs to have a “home” so it is easy to put items back and also to find them in the first place.  But what I didn’t think would affect me is how much I now enjoy not having so many piles around me.  The room has opened up and it has become a priority to put things back when I’m done with them.

Even my eraser has a “spot” all its own.  This organization has freed up time, and that is the best outcome of all.
