How does disorganization affect my life and my work?

Disorganization is the silent killer of productivity; a hidden tax that, at least for the most "organizationally challenged" among us, costs us more than local, state, and federal government levies combined. Ask yourself how much time you spend each day searching for misplaced documents or rifling through piles of paperwork to find that lost phone number you need. Then multiply that time by the hourly rate you charge clients and you'll have half of the equation. The other aspect is all the time wasted at your desk surfing the web, going through e-mail and the like - you know you're more inspired to work when your desk is clear and your office is clean. Many home-based business owners put off work altogether when their environment is less than optimal. To put it succinctly, disorganization costs you money. It can cost you time away from your family, and thus, it can cost you happiness.

What are the tangible costs of disorganization?

Have you ever incurred a late charge on a bill that you were fully able to pay, but didn't because it was lost on your desk? Have you ever had to ship something overnight that could have been shipped more conventionally if you had been more organized? Have you ever had to repurchase an item you already owned because you couldn't find it in your messy office? How much interest have you sacrificed on checks that sat around your office for weeks before being deposited? Truly disorganized business owners even forget to invoice clients, or neglect to follow up on collections. As you can see, the costs of disorganization are numerous and varied, but all avoidable with the right office organization plan.

How does poor office organization affect my employees?

More than anything, employees want to feel valued, and they attain this feeling by being properly utilized. An inefficiently organized work environment leads to diminished productivity and frustration among employees who want nothing more than to do the best that they can. In fact, it's the bad employees who feel most at home in a disorganized workspace - the real go-getters often get going somewhere else. The cost of losing valuable employees is substantial, as is the cost of paying workers overtime to "rush" jobs that could have been completed on time in a more efficient environment.

Can poor organization really lead to the downfall of my business?

Absolutely. In addition to all of the tangible costs listed above, poor office organization also leads to a variety of intangible costs that can cripple and ultimately destroy your business. When you waste time searching for misplaced documents and sacrifice productivity in an inefficient workspace, you don't have time to pursue the expansion of your business. You miss opportunities and lose customers to more efficient competitors.

What is the We Organize it! approach to office organization?

We Organize it! works directly with clients to develop and implement organization systems and practices that are customized to each business's individual needs. First, we set up a 60-90 minute meeting to visit your space, and sit down to talk with you about your organizational objectives. Then we prepare a written "Organizational Synopsis" that establishes a plan of action. We work with you to implement that plan in your choice of three-hour half-sessions, or six-hour full sessions. The typical organizational job requires up to three full sessions.
