How does your office make you feel?

How many hours do you spend in your office during the week?

When you walk into your office on Monday morning after a relaxing weekend, what emotions come to mind? Being disorganized will bring on many negative emotions, which can be transformed into positive ones as soon as you realize that they are connected to your disorganization.

Are you feeling any of these emotions?

Overwhelm. ?It’s all too much for you to wrap your head around. You want to get organized, but the entire process is too overwhelming. You tend to shut down in the middle of your project.?Create a vision for your office. Break your project into small tasks. Have a plan and set a time limit before you even physically start your project.

Stuck.?You want to get organized, but you don’t know where to begin. You may have grown up in a disorganized home and your organizational skill set was never developed. Your quality of work may be suffering because you are lacking the skill set. If you are stuck, it may be time to bring in a professional that can transfer that skill set to you and help you with this process.

Anxious. Just the thought of getting organized sends you into a tailspin. You may have a panic attack, feel dizzy or uneasy.?Sometimes you want to snap your fingers, close your eyes and wake up and have it all gone. When you begin, focus on just one area of your office. Don’t look at your entire office. Start small with a drawer.

Stress. ?Physical clutter and mental clutter will cause stress. This stress will cause you to lose focus, get distracted, and decrease your productivity levels. To work on your stress levels, just focus on decluttering. Don’t worry about getting organized yet, just declutter.?

Exhausted. You feel like you are running a mile a minute in a hundred different directions. You are missing appointments, showing up late for appointments, and being pulled in all different directions. If you are disorganized, get yourself on a schedule, write to-do lists, keep a calendar, and create routines at the office.

Embarrassed. Your office door is always shut. If you have a meeting with a client, you always take them to the conference room because you don’t want them to form an opinion about how you function. Wouldn’t you love to bring clients into your office space?

Do any of the above emotions sound like what you are going through? You are not alone, because many people feel the same way. Realize you are feeling this way due to your disorganization and make a plan to move forward.

Do you ever feel like there isn’t a light at the end of the tunnel? Be positive, it’s there; you just have to gather your thoughts and put a plan into motion and maybe get some help with the process. Eventually, you will hit a breaking point and you will know it’s time to make a change.??
