“He can find a slip of paper or note in his huge pile of disorganized files and books on his table.”

“He said he would file them himself and not to touch anything on his home office-table! It’s off-limit to my habitual cleaning sprees.”

These home-makers complained about their husbands’ untidy office table clutters.

  2. One of my favourite subjects 😊 No, I don’t agree entirely, as I came to realise a long time ago that everyone works differently and will still deliver good outcomes regardless how disorganised their office or desk looks. However, the exception to this are key records and confidential work. Such documents (hard copy or electronic) must be secured each day and returned or booked back into the record management system. That being said, if there are those who want to work differently and learn the secrets of being organised, then I will show them how.

    In terms of myself, yes I am organised and I am not good with clutter. However, I am a reformed hoarder. There was a time when you couldn’t walk into my office. There were documents, books and so on piled up everywhere. Then my great friend and mentor Doug gave me article on managing paper (which can be applied to emails and many other work distractions). Essentially, it was understanding that the clutter was a distraction (including in trays and those unrelenting emails), caused a lack of focus and was contributing to my feeling stressed. So I became organised and never looked back. I implemented only dealing with one piece of ā€œpaperā€ at my desk at one time. This also helped me plan my day, week, fortnight and month better re allocating blocks of time towards my work, which ultimately, to this day, has given my to do list more meaning and effectiveness.
