Don’t Lose Your Pencil At Your Desk
Time management is a big hit when it comes to learning how to be more effective and in turn more successful, but there is a very interesting connection between good time management and less clutter. The worst thing a person can do is try to use time management techniques that do not involve some aspect of de-cluttering their space.
A great majority of time management issues stem from being unable to find what is needed when it is needed. The pencil, pen, or other writing tool is the best example of this. When it is not needed, it seems as though a boat load of them can be stashed away, but as soon as they are in most desperate use, that stash is no more. The reason may not be in that the stash is gone, but it is misplaced.
Usually clutter happens because things are put away in such a manner that it does not make logic sense according to the actual way those things are used. Putting pens and pencils in a box and then in a bottom drawer of a desk may not be logical to some peoples use of the pens a pencils.
What has to be established is the most logical use patterns of each item. Also, there has to be an understanding of the usefulness of those items. Lose what is not used, protect what is most used.
