Computer Organizing

It happened. My computer screwed up on me. Well, technically I screwed it up...but it turned out to be a good thing in the end, although the two weeks without a computer really hurt!

I am not the most tech savvy person out there, but I do manage pretty well. We had been having some slow downs and programs not working properly so I thought I'd "clean it up" and reset some of the programs.... turned out that I practically wiped everything out! I hired someone to help me because it wasn't my area of expertise. Thankfully in the end it was all resolved and I was able to get back all my stuff! Hiring someone to do something that would frustrate you or take up too much time.... is a GREAT way to get things done. Next time instead of trying to fiddle with it myself (and wasting many hours) I'll call them at the start!

Yesterday was my first "full day" with my computer, and I used it to get it organized. I went through all my old emails that had been sitting in my inbox, sorted contacts and pretty much tidied it all up. IT FEELS GREAT! I also took the time to clean up my desk and re organize it.
I know...you're thinking "shouldn't it ALWAYS be organized...she is an organizer after all!!" Well guess what.... everyone needs to reorganize sometimes!

Organizing isn't something you do once and never have to worry about it again, its the start of getting systems working for you. Every once and a while you have to assess the system to see if it's still working ~ or if there are some adjustments to be made. After some purging and shuffling, my workspace is back in order, and I feel more productive and motivated to work.

When was the last time you organized your computer or office? Think of the time wasted looking for files....either on your computer or filing cabinet. Is your desk clear and have space to work, or do the paper stacks go higher than your monitor? Visual clutter makes us unproductive and adds stress that I'm sure none of us need. By organizing and clearing your computer and desk, you''ll be more efficient, save time and stress and have a more productive work environment.

I am happy to say my desk is tidy, my computer is working and I can cross this task off my "do list"
