Proper Daily Care of Your Table: Every morning, arrange your table and if possible at the close of work, do the same. Don’t flood your table with papers. You may mix things up in the process, imbibe and cultivate the habit of being organized. Arrange files and put them in their right places, clean the dirt off the table and place the right papers and files for the day on it. Your table says a lot about you at work; make sure it’s in good form.
Take To Corrections: When you are scolded by your boss for doing the wrong thing, don’t feel disappointed in yourself. Heed to corrections and don’t make similar mistakes. If you want to be organized at work, you have to be willing to learn and improve, avoid making similar mistakes and be organized in thoughts. Flee from what makes you disorganized and what makes your boss mad at you, then you’ll be one step towards being organized.
How Do You Dress To Work? Do you dress right or wrong? Your dressing can prove how organized you are or not, don’t look shabby anymore. If you rush to dress, rush to work, rush to do all things; you’re definitely not organized. If you notice you dress rough and dirty to work, be very sure you are disorganized even at work. Look into it, adjust and embrace change. One way to know an organized person is through his/her looks, vice-versa.
Have An Organized Mind: Settle your mind, don’t be at war with it. It’s like a manufacturing industry; it manufactures your thoughts and outer reactions. Don’t overload it with unnecessary items like hate, fear and timidity. Be at peace with your mind. If the industry is destroyed, then the product will be too. Be careful of the inputs you link to your mind, as they will determine the output. It’s a ‘garbage in–garbage out’ thing. So relax your mind and give it the right ingredients like positive thinking, love, courage, career development etc. You are what you repeatedly think; you can’t have an organized life with a disorganized mind. Hence, you can’t be organized at work if your mind is disorganized and unsettled. Lastly, being organized starts from within.
