If you want to
accomplish more in less time—organize your office and
work-life.
Whether you work in a corporate
office, home office, or mobile office, a lack of organization
costs you more than you may think. It zaps your
time, drains your energy, and prevents you from being
your best. It also has a monetary consequence. Some interesting
statistics drive home this point:
The
typical executive loses an average of six weeks per
year retrieving
misplaced information from cluttered desks and files, according
to the Wall Street Journal.
Americans waste
nine million hours per day searching
for misplaced items, according to the American Demographics
Society.
85% of documents
once filed are never retrieved.
50% of all filed
material is duplicated or obsolete.
60% of material
going to storage has no retention value.
How much does a lack of organization cost you?
You don’t
need to feel embarrassed if you are organizationally challenged. Organizing
competence is not a matter of instinct, but of education
and habit. Unfortunately, there are few schools that include
organizing as part of their curriculum . . . but I can
help. Working with me you’ll learn an easy
organizing solution you can apply to your office as well
as other parts of your life.
Organization is a key function
of good management. It is a “must have” to
effectively manage your workspace, your files, your computer,
your schedule, as well as projects, telephone calls and
meetings.
Benefits of organizing your office.
You
will find the benefits of organization are well worth the
effort because you will be more focused, have more time and
energy, and be more productive and profitable. In fact, no
downside to organizing exists!
Working together.
You may expect
that I’ll view your space, assess
your needs, and then recommend a course of action. My goal
will be your goal—to create an efficient and effective
work environment. (If you are outside my geographical reach
you may snail mail or e-mail photos of your office.) There
are two ways we can work together.
On-site
organizing.
I will
work directly with you to organize your office. I’ll
help you eliminate clutter, organize materials for
convenient retrieval, decide what to keep and what
to let go. I’ll create ways to stretch your storage
and set-up a streamlined filing system. I will help
you create systems to manage paper flow and focus on
priorities.
Phone
coaching.
This arrangement
is designed to keep you on track—while you
work on organizing your space step by step. During
the course of this program, I’ll guide and support
you by suggesting tasks, answering your questions and
helping you surpass challenges that may show up from
time to time. This program begins with an initial two
hour conference, followed by one-hour conferences at
the pace you set.
On-site
organizing guarantee.
I
recommend you practice the maintenance strategies that
I share with you for 21 consecutive days. Thereafter,
I invite you to evaluate the effectiveness of your
newly organized space by ANY criteria you choose. If
you find that any part of the organizing solution isn’t
working or meeting your needs, let me know and I will
come back, at no additional cost, and help you set
up a different system until your needs have been met.
Organizing is an investment
in your future, your peace of mind and a nominal cost considering
the dramatic, positive changes you will experience. Next,
