This blog will have many tips that will help you become more efficient in the office. I love organization. I love the freedom it gives you as you gain “more” time and make small changes in your life that not only empower you, but truly help you feel happy and accomplished.
#1 The Start Up Set Up
So many times we have our noses in our business plan and all of the other planning we forget to plan for other things like the set up of our office space. Your office space is your home away from home (or maybe it’s even in your home
) This space should not only have the necessary equipment that an office should have, but it should be placed in the most efficient and effective places.
Do a quick check of electrical outlets and draw a brief sketch of what you want your office space to look like. (This can be done for those of us that already have our office spaces set up too. It’s never too late to be more productive.
Do this before you even purchase your first piece of equipment. Where can the equipment be placed to enhance workflow? If you use your fax machine a lot, don’t put it on the other side of the room from your desk. Is there a big window in your office? Make sure that the sunlight won’t affect your ability to work due to glare on your computer screen, getting too hot or getting headaches.
Getting organized does not happen over night. It takes time and planning. Just remember to start where you are and never let an opportunity pass you by to better yourself and your business.
