Double your Productivity

Greetings:

There are lots of books, programs and seminars that teach how to increase productivity. Although I am sure they all have good suggestions, I know one simple way to increase your productivity. Get rid of clutter. Clutter is a time waster and cuts down on the time you have to be productive. Clutter can also be stressful and get in the way of your best efforts. Getting rid of the clutter is a sure way of increasing productivity and making life easier.

Some people think clutter is a sign of creativity. I think clutter is a sign of confusion. When there is clutter, it is difficult to concentrate, focus and get things done. A lot of time is spent looking for things and shuffling through the piles. I used to say I could find anything I wanted in my clutter. That was true. However, it was also true that it might take me hours, weeks or months to find everything I needed. When you get rid of the clutter, you create order. Order brings balance and the ability to work without spending time searching for what you need. I love that I can now reach into a file and pull out exactly what I need. I don't waste my time searching through the clutter. What I want is right where I can find it. That makes life so much easier, and productivity naturally flows.

Clutter is one of the main barriers to productivity. If you can't find what you need, or you don't have enough clear workspace, or the mess stresses you, it's going to be very difficult to get anything done in a timely manner. Create a plan to get rid of the clutter as soon as possible. The sooner the clutter is gone, the sooner you can get to work with no obstructions.

Here's to taking action,
