Today's word is ORGANIZATION...
For those that know me say I’m an organization
nut. My mind thinks in a more detailed and concise manner when my desk and
files are organized. Everything has its place, so when someone asks me for
something I can readily put my fingertips on it or email to them in moments. My
latest craze for the last year is scanning all hard copy files within our
department and shredding them once I have reviewed the accuracy of each file.
It has already proven to be priceless when our department head requested
documents on a specific topic and I was able to search by that request and
presto I found what he needed quite quickly.
How do you keep yourself organized? Thanks for visiting!

ReplyDeleteThat's a great skill to have. Takes a lot of work to scan and make those doc online. Very satisfying too am sure!
I am not very organized, but I would like to be and keep trying to improve.

It is challenging to make sure the docs are scanned clearly and I have no typos in the descriptive details. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI like to have everything in it's respective location as well, Donna! Though sometimes there does seem to be a creative disorganization to my organization--or so my husband says:)
ReplyDeleteI hear you on that one! As long as no one touches my desk at home I'm good.
DeleteOh, yes, I totally agree with that!
DeleteI have spats of being organised. Sometimes, I am extremely organised and other times, total disarray. Great post.
ReplyDeleteIt all depends on the day and my mood for organization.
DeleteI have Asperger Syndrome and so being organized enough to get my writing done is a big difficulty for me. I find I have to accept my limitations and not force myself to be hyper-organized. Just having separate places to dump papers from different writing projects is a big leap forward for me.

You go girl! We do what works for each of us.
DeleteI think I have a slightly chaotic work space that sort of works. lol
ReplyDeleteWhatever works for you is the perfect organization.
DeleteWell, I'm not quite that organized, but I do keep a clean desk.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy a clean desk. If it's stacked with too many projects I don't even know where to begin.
Delete...I have this pile...oh, and that one over there...and if you move the cat, there's another one.

DeleteOMG that is so organised... I am the comp lee opposite, I know where everything is, it's somewhere in the pile on my desk... ~Liz http://www.lizbrownleepoet.com
ReplyDeleteAs long as you can find it, that's what counts!
DeleteI'm not super organized, but I use to-do lists and try to keep things neat. The clutter makes it hard to think and know where to start.

Clutter definitely makes me jittery.
ReplyDeleteI gotta confess: I enjoy nourishment much more than organization. As usual, I'm a day late! But that's okay, I sense Peanut Butter only a couple days away. (Hey, a guy can dream right. I'll be okay if it's Pepsi.)
ReplyDeleteI also believe that a cluttered desk reflects a cluttered mind.Apart from that I like to keep things in place.
