The "Cost" of Disorganization Part I
"The average American burns 55 minutes a day
roughly 12 weeks per year looking for things
they know they own but can't find"
Newsweek 6/09
Lets review some symptoms of disorganization:
. Stress at work leads to physical illness, which leads to time off work, which leads to lost productivity, which means a loss of revenue.
. Inadequate paper or electronic trail systems lead to poor follow through and communication with customers, which leads to lost business.
. Poor productivity from overlapping tasks when there is lack of clear communication.
. Purchasing items you probably already have but can't find.
. Lost income from forgetting to invoice a client.
. Poor growth, too much time spend spinning wheels to fix mistakes caused by disorganization and poor communication.
Wasted time = wasted money.
. Last minute jobs creating overtime that could have been avoided with better planning.
Next, what are a few signs that it's time to make a change.
. Desk cluttered with files and equipment. Results of a poor filing system.
. Procrastination. It's either the fear of failure or simple indecision.
. Being reactive instead of proactive.
. Excessive multi-tasking which causes stress, short-term memory loss and it negatively impacts concentration and attentivenes
. Lack of FOCUS, cluttered mind = feeling of overwhelm
Don't wait for something to happen, make something happen!
There are many great tools at your disposal. If you thought about hiring an Office Organizer/Productivity Consultant, make it happen now.
The bottom line is that being organized means things run more smoothly which then boosts moral which then increases productivity which then affects the profitability. It just makes sense!
The experiences I have had personally have led me to become an organizer. I am here now to help those that are ready to make changes for the better and who understand the bigger picture and want to save money in the long run by getting organized now.
