How to Stay Organized at Work?

Have you ever heard of the phrase "Find a focal point!"? If you haven't, then welcome to a better method of concentration. Being unorganized at work can lead to operational error, functional discrepancies, financial loss, low customer retention, a disorderly work atmosphere, etc. Sometimes it's insufficient for people to rely on personal happiness or the work task at hand in order to remain organized at work. It's very easy to become scatter-brained or overwhelmed by the pressures and dynamics of the workplace. Those who think with a trivial, naïve mindset believe that controlled chaos is feasible and manageable within the work environment. WRONG! Chaos is chaos; and the solution to chaos is order (among many other things). That's not good for business. When it's not your company, your employees, your customers, or your tools and resources, you CANNOT impose your personal survival habits on another person's company. Find a key motivator to keep you focused, whether it be creating lists, maintaining a daily planner, having an accountability partner, etc. It really works! Try it. ..If not, then start your own company where your rules and ways govern the nature of the business. Share some ideas with us on how you've been able to organize in the workplace!
