Service Hints/ Me? Organize?

Myth: To be organized means to be neat or tidy. Yes, we will admit that you can be neat and organized at the same time. But, there is also a huge percentage of neat people who are extremely disorganized. In fact, and this one's probably going to surprise you -- you can be the total opposite of neat (you can be sloppy) and still be organized!

So, what does it mean to be organized?

Truth:

1. You get everything done when it's due.
2. You find everything you need when you need it.

It's really that simple. Keep these two things in mind, and you're well on your way to optimum organization.

Take Time to Sharpen Your Ax!
There was a woodsman who had a new ax. The first day he was able to chop down twenty trees. With each passing day, he worked longer and harder, while chopping down fewer trees. A friend wandered by and suggested, 'Why don't you sharpen your ax?' The woodsman replied, 'I'm too busy. I've got to chop down more trees!'

Working longer and harder is usually not the answer. In fact, it will often make the problems worse. As you get stressed and frustrated, your goals and dreams will get put on the sideline. The simple answer to this problem is to get organized! You can't save time; you can only waste less time!
