How To Get Really Organized
How To Get Really Organized
This is for people who want to become more organized.
Take three pictures - preferably with a digital camera.
1. Take a picture of the contents of your brief case.
2. Take a picture of your car - both inside and the trunk.
3. Take a picture of your home office. Actually take a few pictures so you can see it all.
Imagine you have a prospect who has the potential of becoming a big customer. Also imagine showing this prospect the picture and asking for his reaction.
If anyone looking at these pictures has a negative reaction - please don't think you're immune to the reality of what you see in the pictures.
What if you office looks like crap and you're trying to put together a creative presentation for a big prospect. Do you really think a cluttered desk is going to improve your creativity?
What if you work in a branch or corporate office and your office is always messy and disorganized. I used to be a big muckety-muck (VP Sales & Marketing) for a Fortune 500 company and I'll tell you what it means. It says, you can't handle the work you have on your plate now, why in the world should you be considered for a bigger territory or even a promotion.
We live in a world filled with eBooks, iPods, eBay, Google, and cell phones that can do everything but fix an omelet for you. You had better realize that you are a walking billboard.
And everything about you (Your briefcase, your car, your office) plus what you say and how you say it is plastered all over the billboard for the world to see.
Question. What do you want your personal billboard to say about you?
I've got a lot of ideas on how to get organized. I wrote the book, "57 Ways To Take Control Of Your Time And Your Life."
One of the ideas which can have a big impact on how people perceive you is simply this.
Every three months do the following: get the biggest trash-can liner you can find and trash:
Your briefcase!
Your car!
Your office!
To trash means to throw-out everything you don't need to be a success in your business.
Do this every three months. Make it pop-up on your Outlook calendar.
You'll feel better and what's even more important look better to anyone who's watching you.
Now, go snap another picture of you briefcase, car, and office. See for yourself the difference it makes.
