Eliminate Some Stress And Save Time and Money

Part of being successful is being organized.  Being organized sounds like an easy thing to do, but for most men and women and most companies, it can be difficult to do.  It can be tough because in the heat of everyday business, it can be a hard thing to slow everything down and organize it.  Slowing down the work might seem like a hassle or counterproductive, but the time you save down the road is well worth it.

How can you get anything done in a timely manner if you do not always start with a clean slate?  Working in a messy work space can be annoying, it surly makes your job more difficult and it can even make it more dangerous.  How many accidents happen because the work area is messy and cluttered?  Sure those accidents where men and women actually get hurt are going to be in areas other than an office, usually around machines and in production type areas, but even though the chances of you getting physically hurt in the office are low, your chances of taking damage to your career is high.

Imagine losing an order or even an important client because you were unorganized and couldn’t find something that you needed in order to serve that customer, how rotten would that make you feel?  Has it happened before?  How did your boss feel about it?  It's one thing to lose an order or a customer because of circumstances beyond your control, but to lose them because of laziness and clutter is just unacceptable.

You can not justify that type of thing to yourself and you without a doubt cannot justify that sort of thing to your boss.  Getting organized is easy; it's staying organized that gives most men and women problems.  So how do you stay organized?  It comes down to discipline.  You've got to be disciplined from start to finish.  You can’t take a day off and say to yourself that you will be disciplined again tomorrow or the next day. 

By the next day it is going to be too late and you'll have to start all over again.  What you have to do is get on the right track and stay there.  Sure at the beginning it will seem like a lot more work, but soon you are going to be saving time and it'll more than make up for the extra work.  And eventually, you'll get so accustomed to the extra steps and you are going to begin doing them as you go through the day and there isn't going to be as many extra steps in the end.
