Fortunately, organizing your office space doesn’t necessarily mean a whole office overhaul. That can be overwhelming to most folks, and people stop before they even begin. Sound familiar? Have you been saying for months (years, maybe?) that you need to organize your office? You know what a relief it would be to have it done, yet you can’t seem to begin even though you really want to. You may not know where to start. You dread tackling drawers and cabinets of murky, miscellaneous papers filled with information that you may or may not need.
My advice: start small. Always. Don’t take on the world—it’s just not necessary. Look at the positives in your office: what is in place that’s already working? Maybe the physical layout of the space (desk, bookcase, filing cabinet placement) is ideal. Great—something you won’t have to tackle! Maybe your filing system is effective, but you just need to clean out some outdated files. Or maybe you just need to begin using your filing cabinet—no new skills needed, just develop the habit of filing a few things daily, and you’re on the way! So look around and eliminate what you won’t need to tackle first—organizing your office may not be as bad as you’ve been thinking!
