Chapter 4. Getting Organized

Note to Trainer:

If you haven't given your attendees a break so far in the all-day or half-day training, now is a good time to give them a 10 minute break to stretch, place or return phone calls, check their smartphone for e-mails or text messages, or grab a cold beverage or cup of coffee or tea.

This module on getting organized will cover the following topics:

  • Organizing your day: the value of routine

  • Organizing principles to apply to your things including equipments, tools, and other objects

  • Causes of disorder and how you can overcome it

  • Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

  • Clearing the clutter

  • Organizing your office or workspace

  • Creating a filing system that is organized

  • Making the most of commuting time

  • Business travel tips

Getting organized is a way of taking control of your activities as well as your work space. It leads to greater efficiency than having papers all around or going from task to task without organization.
