Solutions For A Messy Desk
It may come as a surprise to you how devastating office clutter and disorganization can be. Research shows that the average person wastes 4.3 hours per week searching for paper, which increases stress and reduces concentration and creative thinking.
Meanwhile, the average executive loses an hour of productivity every single day searching for missing information. Think about how much time you could be gaining in your daily tasks.
Another big burden is the fact that small businesses face is the inability to service customers in an efficient manner as a result of mishandled paperwork. One of the leading causes of disorganization and mishandled paperwork is a messy desk.
A messy desk leads to misplaced documents, lost information, and increased stress. It can also impact how people view you which can lead to high levels of self-consciousness.
“According to a new survey of over 1000 workers by staffing firm Adecco, a majority of Americans (57%) admit they judge coworkers by how clean or dirty they keep their workspaces,” Forbes contributor Jenna Goudreau reports. “Meanwhile, nearly half say they have been ‘appalled’ by how messy colleagues’ office is and most chalk it up to pure laziness.” Check out an article on tips for a messy desk.
