Jan 7
Get Organized Month

According to The National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), this January is the fourth annual Get Organized Month. The NAPO mission statement lists the organization's purpose as being: "to develop, lead, and promote professional organizers and the organizing industry." There are a lot of useful resources for businesses on this site.

Personally, I think that the timing for this event is great. It's January, and a lot of people are trying to get a fresh start because of the new year. What better way to do that than to get organized?

As a home business owner I was pleased to discover that the NAPO site has their own list of office organizing tips. I think nearly any business owner can benefit from these ideas, I know that I've used a few of them myself.

A few additional organizing techniques that have worked well for me include:

  • Take time in the morning to look over the day's tasks

  • Don't overshedule yourself. Often two or three major tasks are all that should be scheduled in a day.

  • Set aside a specific amount of time to dedicate to potential work interruptions such as e-mail and telephone calls. Limit those activities to that time.

  • At the end of the day, take a few minutes to create a to do list for the next day's tasks.
Do you need even more organizational help? You may need to find an organizing professional.

What about you? Do you have any tips for getting organized? If so, what are they?
