Organized Desk

And I don’t mean cookies…  But I say you can have a cookie while you work if you so desire-I know I do!  When you finish your cookie and you’re ready to work on your home office organization tasks, you should concentrate on doing tasks of the same type together.  This will keep you on track and avoid jumping around causing your brain to have to continually switch gears.  Our brains can truly only focus on one task at a time.  Our brains can only multitask when it comes to activities like our hearts beating and breathing at the same time.

Tasks will be done more efficiently and faster if you block off time to stick to one task at a time.  Examples of tasks you can focus on:

1)  Filing papers

2) Making phone calls

3) Checking e-mail (this is an important one to do in batches vs. checking it frequently throughout the day)

4) Organizing your work area

5) Social media updates (Hootsuite is a great site to post updates to multiple sites)

6) Blogging (good to create several blog posts in one shot)

7) Processing receipts/budgeting

Invoicing

9) Shredding documents

10) Ordering supplies

Get organized and do it efficiently by doing your “like” tasks in batches so you aren’t zigzagging!
