MY TOPIC THIS WEEK: Good Organization Is the Ultimate Key to Success

May 28, 2021

Poor organizational skills can hinder your professional career, cost you time and money, lead to poor relationships, and even to declining mental or physical health.
 
To keep up with your responsibilities and be highly productive, you must possess organizational skills.
 
Thankfully, with training and dedication, you can learn to be more organized. Yes, even you. Being organized means that you can prioritize, declutter, and schedule people, tasks, or things wisely based on your goals. Being organized can improve all these things and more.
 
1. Good organization will improve time management
 
Staying organized allows you to always be on time, so you avoid missing important deadlines or appointments. When you are not organized, time is often wasted searching for needed items, tools, and paperwork.
 
Spending time searching instead of doing it can lead to missed deadlines, forgotten meetings, and not having time to go to outings with friends and family.
 
2. Improved organization skills will make you healthier
 
Organization allows you to de-stress, improving overall health as you no longer miss important deadlines or scramble to find important objects through your house or office.
 
Decluttering your space is known to reduce cortisol levels, the hormone responsible for stress. If you want to feel calmer, clean up your space immediately.
 
3. Good Organization improves and increases productivity
 
Being organized helps you use your time more wisely. When you are organized, you feel like you have more time to work on essential tasks leading to higher productivity.
 
Having the resources that you need front and center without having to fumble through other clutter leads to more valuable time to finish your tasks and produce high-quality work.
 
Having everything you need ready to go can also make overwhelming tasks easier to get done and be used as a source of motivation to keep going.
 
4. Organizing your environment creates a clutter-free & more hygienic environment
 
Clutter leads to dust or more dirt collection that can wreak havoc on your physical and mental health. A clutter-free environment is more hygienic and is known to decrease cortisol levels, leaving you relieved, satisfied, and happier, not to mention ready to work and tackle all the tasks you need to do.
 
5. Your organization game leads to improved and better relationships
 
Organization provides fewer opportunities to stress or worry while spending time with friends, family, or other meaningful relationships. Organization includes arranging every aspect of your life to make it easier.
 
This includes ensuring you only work at work, not at home or during other people's time. As you can see, being and staying organized is the key to optimal success.
 
If you want a successful career, more meaningful relationships, and improved physical and mental health, you must adopt organizational habits.

 ”The five essential entrepreneurial skills for success: Concentration, Discrimination, Organization, Innovation and Communication.” - Harold Geneen
 
"Three Rules of Work: Out of clutter find simplicity; From discord find harmony; In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." - Albert Einstein
 
 
Consider:
 
Will organizing have a great impact in my life? Will it not just help me or others as well?
 

 
I'll see you in class,
