Why You Should Organize Your Office Each Day
/
It might sound like a lot to do but by dedicating just five minutes at the end of each work day to tidy up your space, you’ll be able to start each day with a clean slate and easily be able to jump into your work tasks for the day.
Did you know that the average person spends almost 2.5 days per year looking for lost items? And that replacing those lost items costs an astounding $2.7 billion! Imagine how much more efficient you will be (and how much money you can save) by keeping a more organized work space.
What are the most frequently lost items?
Remote control (45%)
Phones (33%)
Car/house keys (28%)
Glasses (27%)
Shoes (24%)
Wallets/purses (20%)
And because of all the time spent searching for lost items, more than 50% of people are regularly later for work or school!

So how can you prevent yourself from having to search for important items every day? At the end of each day, schedule five minutes to go through the clutter that has accumulated on your desk. Pay the bills. Recycle the papers. Put away the office supplies. Make sure that you have a dedicated space so you know exactly where everything belongs. Trust me. This is life changing! And you can apply this technique to your home too.
