Office Space

In a professional setting, organization can help maintain a sort of balance. It makes sense that when your environment looks less chaotic, it probably is less chaotic. Sure, there is such a thing as “an organized mess,” but when it comes down to it, if it takes you more than five minutes to look for something on your desk (or inbox), how organized is it really? I was a believer in that little oxymoron, but I have found out for myself that when it is easier to find things, it is easier to manage and stay on top of them. For instance… I have recently organized all my papers into folders and the ones closest to me are for current projects and the ones further are for ongoing projects or papers to be filed away. (Thanks, TVD. Very handy little system I have been compelled to create for myself.) Also, it happens that once in a while someone will be absent from a Monday Morning Meeting, and organization helps co-workers collect what they need from you. Overall, organization can benefit everyone in the work environment.
