You have been working hard last year and it also means you have a lot of junks inside your office and on your desk. I know there is work to finish but, you should take time to look around and clean up your office. Even though, it means you have been productive for the last twelve months, organising your office is one great way to start 2014. You find many articles talk about apps in organising your business but this content will talk about the physical appearance of your workspace.
If you are running a small business or self-employed, you will find business cards, product samples that never got into the shelves, excess inventory, gifts given to you last Christmas and so much papers sitting on your desk for many months now. You have to remove them to give enough space to plan out your business for this year.
First, you have to get rid of things you don’t need any more. Organise them and put them in different boxes. Don’t forget to label each one and put them aside where they can’t be seen. Create a database for business cards. Make sure your shredder is functioning well. Get help from your staffs. Give your workplace a fresh new look for motivation. Take time to decorate your office, make it professional yet inviting. Remember that the ambiance of the room also affects the person living in it.
Though some studies say that messy people are creative and will likely succeed in business, piles of papers on your desk makes you feel you are imprisoned by your work. Also your people will find it difficult to approach you.
Get organised today! Eliminate unnecessary stuffs as much as possible.
