A tidy desk, a tidy mind
Will you just take a look at the state of this desk?!
Okay, it’s a fair cop. It’s my desk and I am sorry. enotions has gone through all manner of changes in the last three or four months. One area where we’ve worked hard to improve efficiency is the daily ‘to do’ list for each and every employee. It’s amazing how a list can cut through the clutter and focus the mind.
I have my daily ‘to do’ list and I love it. I must have gone from getting 50% of my jobs done in a day to 80%+ and the feeling of achievement at the end of the day when you see all those crossed out jobs is sadly thrilling.
Now I just need to work on cleaning my desk at the end of a day. Perhaps then I’ll hit full efficiency and treat myself to a pay rise (what’s a pay rise?!)
But it’s a serious point. The mind shuns chaos, embraces order, and just like the cleanest web sites, going from A to B is child’s play when everything is in the right place.
