 It's 2012, a brand new year wide open with promise and possibilities. If "get organized" is one of your new year's resolutions again this year - let's look at what might have gotten in the way in the past and work to change it in the future. I've compiled a list 7 Organizing Mistakes to Avoid in 2012 to help you sidestep the most common roadblocks to a well-organized workspace.
1. Neglecting your personal organizing style When it comes to organizing, one of the key elements is to understand your personal organizing style. What does this mean? It means that you need to analyze your current organizing habits before you implement new systems. For example - are you a piler or a filer? Do you like an open bin system or drawers? Are you an "out of sight out of mind" person and need everything visible or do you prefer everything to be put away? Do you like paper or are you striving for a "paperless" office?
2. Going for quick fix solutions - Quick fix solutions offer the promise of magically whipping years of clutter and disorganization into shape. If you see a storage product or new piece of technology that seems to offer a quick fix, hold off, it may just wind up as another piece of clutter, frustration and ultimately a wast of money. If the product doesn't match your personal style, it will not work for you long term. Whether for weight loss or organizing, quick fixes rarely work. Know that like anything worthwhile, getting organized takes time.
3. Boxes and bags syndrome This is a very common one and I see it all the time. You may be so frustrated with all the clutter on your desk or you might just need to clear it in a hurry - you put all the clutter in a box or bag and stick it in the closet. Before you know it there is an accumulation of bags in the closet causing you stress and possibly even shame that you just can't get it under control. Avoid the boxes and bags syndrome by implementing systems - such as mail processing systems that prevent clutter from happening in the first place. Read More |
