It's GO (Get Organized) Time!

If you need another nudge to get you committed to organizing your office or your life, consider this: January is Get Organized Month, sponsored by the National Association of Professional Organizers.

Why January? I assume they're riding the coattails of the New Year's resolutions kick, during which I'm sure many folks pledge their commitment to getting things in order as the calendar flips.

Of course, the reason NAPO is pushing Get Organized (or GO) Month is to get people to hire a professional organizer. But even if you choose not to outsource your organization dilemmas, it's still a good reminder that a more organized environment can save you time and improve your productivity.

If you need some ideas, check out the free resources at Smead Organomics (cutesy name, but the site is good). There's a nifty "organomics calculator" that can help you compute the true cost of disorderliness and a selection of one-minute answers to common organizing questions.
