WORKSPACE CHAOS DE-CLUTTER YOUR
But recently, after a busy summer I recognized my home office (where I work from everyday) was just too much. Things were piling up and it was beginning to stress me out because this room was no longer speaking to me and quite frankly, it was dis - tracting me from my work during the day. I was feeling the overwhelm and decided I needed to change it up. So, I decided to de-clutter, getting rid of things that no longer served me and creating more organizational strategies to keep things out of sight and therefore out of mind. It took me about a week and by the end of it, I created a whole new organizational system in my office closet, got rid of all the piles of stuff and could finally see the top of my desk and other surfaces. Phew!
WORKSPACE TO HELP GROW YOUR BUSINESS
by Shannon Ferguson
I t’s not a new theory that if you keep a tidy space around you, you will not only feel better, but your life and business will become stronger and more streamlined. Therefore, a neat office should mean a great business. I wanted to put this to the test. You see, I am a self-confessed clutter queen. Not a hoarder by any means but someone who just likes to display lots of things. While also extremely organized (everything has its place), I also thrive in chaos and my office desk is often filled with notebooks, highlighters, letters, pictures and more. Further, I love colour and have never been much of a minimalist so ever since I was younger, the spaces I frequent are often colourful and filled with mementos and things that define my personality.
