Organization Equals More Time

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

Studies show how you can save time by being organized.

• 16 minutes a day is how long an average American will spend looking for lost items-which adds up to an entire year durning a lifetime.

• The average desk worker spends three hours each week searching for documents, sorting piles and figuring out which project to start next.-From The Overload Syndrome written by Richard Swenson.

• Organization of your home would cut down on 40% of your cleaning time.

• Almost one quarter of all adults say that they are late in paying their bills (which incurs a late fee) because they could not find them.

How do you spend your time daily? I challenge you to keep a log for at least three days and see where your time goes each day. What can you do to be more efficient? Tackle one of these easy five minute tasks to be on your way to a more efficient life.

1. clean out one drawer

2. put away ten things

3. shred paper

4. collect your household towels and start a load

5. vacuum one room

6. collect 5 items and put into your donation bag/box

7. collect papers around your house and sort into two piles Active (needs attention) InActive (to be filed)

Commit to one of these activities a day for one straight week and you will feel so productive and proud of yourself. Studies show that new and old habits begin and end in 21 days.

Until next time...

Keep it Sweet and Neat,

Stephanie
