Beached by Your Organizing Efforts? Here's How to Use Effective Systems for Better Workflow Management
Overview:
Recently, I observed college students working diligently on the beaches of the Bolivar Peninsula in Galveston, conducting a thorough spring clean-up to remove debris. Yet, when I returned two months later, the beach was again littered with cans, bottles, and paper, requiring another clean-up session.This made me think of how we often manage our offices. We periodically organize, dispose of old papers, and buy containers to tidy up. However, after a few weeks, the clutter returns as if we never organized in the first place.
What's Going Wrong?
1. Lack of New Procedures: Without changes to prevent future clutter, we return to old habits.2. Confusing Cleaning with Organizing: Tidying up without creating systems leads to temporary fixes, not long-term solutions.
What Does Getting Organized Really Mean?
- Systems and Space Realignment: Develop processes and arrange areas for efficient use.- Immediate Decision-Making: Categorize and place each item or paper as soon as it arrives.
- Appropriate Placement: Ensure everything is filed or stored correctly to facilitate future action.
Benefits of True Organization:
- Efficient Time Management: Focus on priorities without constant re-arrangement.- Consistent Focus: Work without the mental burden of clutter.
Building Lasting Habits:
Keeping spaces clear, whether beaches or desks, requires habitual action linked to an effective system. On the beach, ample trash bins and visitors' habit of using them could save volunteer hours for other purposes. Similarly, the office requires immediate actions, like deciding what to do with papers upon first handling them.Many know the principle of "handle a paper only once." This requires making immediate decisions about its purpose and placing it accordingly. The key is having a dedicated process and space, distinguishing between mere cleaning and true organizing.
Conclusion:
Instead of repeating the cycle of cleaning up, dedicate time to establish lasting organizing systems. This approach not only streamlines work but may also free up time for more enjoyable pursuits?"like extra beach trips.You can find the original non-AI version of this article here: Beached By Your Organizing Efforts Use Effective Systems To Manage Your Workflow.
