The holidays are over and if you are like most of us, you probably ate and possibly drank a little too much. You probably "burnt the candle at both ends" trying to get everything "just right" for the holidays and by the time the holidays were over, you were probably exhausted.
Well it's the new year now! A time to get refreshed, get refocused and get things accomplished!
Start by cleaning up your office. No doubt over the previous twelve months you received tons of correspondence from well meaning individuals "just trying to keep you informed." Unless you are more disciplined than most, by year end, your office probably is a mess.
Research confirms that a messy office has a negative impact on attitude thus a negative impact on productivity. Have you ever walked in to your office and thought "where do I start." Are you always spending time looking for something that you need among the clutter. As you know, it gets really frustrating.
I spent almost the entire day yesterday cleaning up my office. Don't just clean up the surface areas that someone can see. Take the time to go through your old files and purge everything that that no longer has value.
I had two large trash bags of old mail, emails, reports, etc. that were no longer needed. Now, not only is my office more conducive to getting things accomplished, but it is a place where I feel relaxed and comfortable.
Treat yourself to a clean office to start the new year!
You deserve it!
Have a great 2010 and let us know how we can help!
Mike
