Home Office Organization–21st Century Style

A Motivational Quote to Keep Us Going

Organization is not an option, it is a fundamental survival skill and distinct competitive advantage.” Pam N. Woods from Motivational Inspirational Corner.

I quote the following directly from this post by Emily Weigel on The Stacks and Stack Clutter Control Freak Blog:

[Here are some areas of life where being organized actually can give you a competitive advantage:

At Work: Nothing pleases the boss more than an efficient job done, thanks to organization. And this goes beyond desk organizers, to time management, effective planning, and utilization of all available tools.

In School: School is a highly competitive atmosphere, where students are competing for top grades, scholarships, and recognition for high achievements. They’re looking for every competitive advantage possible, and organization will get you farther than you think in academics.

At Home: You may wonder, why would I need the competitive advantage at home? My belief is that everything starts at home – the life you live outside, and how you live it, is a direct consequence of it. So, if you’re on top of the organizing game at home – you’re better prepared for the chaos outside.

In Your Social Life: Being timely, reliable, available, and sensible are all qualities of an organized person – and a good friend! Having these traits could help you make new friends, and become closer to the ones you have.

If you haven’t gotten organized because you didn’t see any incentive to do it, think of this quote. Think about all the areas of your life, and how far you’ll advance by having the “competitive advantage”.]

I’m a subscriber to the Clutter Control Freak blog. I find it highly motivational, full of great ideas, and a good read. If you want to subscribe to a blog about getting and being organized that has short posts with lots of tips that are really quick and easy to use, I recommend this blog.

    Thanks for reading the CCF blog! It’s always nice to find a fan.

    By the way - I think you’ve convinced me that I need a PDA.

    Eva,
    Thanks for reading! I do indeed swear by my PDA. I only wish I had the financial resources for a SmartPhone or an iPhone.
