Office Organizing

Are you a “Yes Man/Woman”? Do you consistently find yourself having a hard time saying “no” to your boss and/or coworkers? The fact of the matter is that overcommitting yourself at work can lead to more negatives than positives.

Happy October! I hope everyone is ready for some fall weather. I know I sure am! The twins are doing well in college, and we visited them both this past month.

When we hear the word “perfect”, we often consider it a compliment. However, perfectionism in the workplace is often a hinderance. Are there benefits to someone striving for the goal of perfection in their career?

At Sorted Out we are all about strength and independence. We absolutely understand that many of us work hard for our money and don’t spend it lightly and without purpose.

Since I am in huge college mode with the twins this August, I wanted to think of something useful to help everyone get organized for this month. I love using August as a time to get organized in the office, and if you’re feeling overwhelmed in yours, I would suggest using these helpful tips.

In today's fast-paced digital world, staying organized is no longer just about keeping a tidy desk or a well-arranged closet; it extends into the digital realm. From overflowing email inboxes to cluttered cloud storage, managing digital chaos is becoming increasingly crucial.

We’re all guilty of it. Getting hit with the “I want to organize my life!” bug that in reality meant you threw away 2-3 items, bought a ton of new storage containers, and then shoved things you weren’t really sure what to do with into various bins, baskets, and drawers.

At Sorted Out we have several organizers on our team that hold certificates in Productivity and Time Management Studies. We also have professionals that hold ADHD Specialist Certificates, and we have a few that hold both! When I say we know and understand the complexities of having ADD/ADHD?

Is it hypocritical of me to finally be sitting down to write this post on the eve of my self-governed deadline for it? Probably! But the truth of the matter is no one is 100% safe from the pitfalls of the dreaded “P” word… procrastination.

Any thriving business hits a point of success that requires the next step to be taken to continue the upward trajectory. If you have been hardworking and determined enough to begin seeing the fruits of your labor develop into true business success; Congratulations!

It is often very tempting to want to hit the “pause button” on work. Especially this time of year with the weather beginning to improve and more Spring activities popping up, it’s more appealing than ever to hit pause by using “Hold” or “To Review” files.

For most of us natural born organizers, nothing is more annoyingly stressful than the glaring red notification bubble on our email inbox.

The best way to refresh and renew your business organization in a new year is to begin with the space where most of your business is conducted: your desk!
