Organization

           It is all too common for the vast majority of the population to not be that well informed on the art of organization. Most are completely oblivious to the enormous benefits that organization can extend into their everyday lives. However, there is good news. This is a skill that can be easily acquired.

            By being organized you can dramatically change your quality of life and also improve it in subtle and quite obvious ways as well. Some people misperceive the art of organization as something that will take up all of their time and requires filing your cds in alphabetical order or even being anal retentive about small insignificant tasks. Every person has a wide ranging variance on their perspective of this essential skill.

            Being organized involves an individual’s personal preference, style and personality. There are people who tend to steer toward color coding and post-its in their office in order to feel organized while others may be more particular with date books and to-do lists. Others may even operate on complete an utter “organized” chaos where they are truly the only individual to find order in their own madness.

            Staying organized can keep you healthy. It is a widely known fact that stress can affect your health both physically, mentally and emotionally in a variety of ways that are harmful to you. By being organized, you can dramatically reduce your levels of stress with very little effort.

            Aside from reducing stress substantially, you will present yourself in a much more professional light by being well organized. If your office or home is unkempt and chaotic, it can leave a bad impression on anyone who may choose to drop in. Being organized will portray an aspect to yourself that you have everything under complete and total control.

            Organization can even help you save money. When you find yourself unorganized, you can often overlook things that you already have but may be spending money to repurchase. If you maintain a more organized home or office, you will create a better overview of your life when it comes to expenditures and finances. Spending only on things you honestly need and afford is a positive side effect of proper organizational skills.

            Besides saving money, organization greatly saves individuals time. When you have your workflow well organized and neatly in place, you can quite easily set your priorities in order of what needs to be done immediately allowing for better management of work. Not only does this time saver assist you while on the job, but you will also gain more time in your personal life with your new found organizational skills. By being well organized you will gain a clearer perspective of what you need to do which will permit you to better delegate time for yourself and loved ones.
