This morning I left home twenty minutes late because i couldn’t remember where I had left my phone. As a result I missed the 7 o’clock bus and I had to catch the next one which only came twenty minutes later and by that time the traffic had doubled. Consequently I ended up getting to work very late. Twenty minutes turned in to an hour. This made me realise how being disorganized can lead to a lot of time waste. One of the major time wasters is lack of organization of our physical space. We spend so much time trying to find things, our socks, a pen or an umbrella for example. This often leaves us angry and frustrated and we waste even more time trying to calm down!

Make sure that you organise your physical space. Have a little library where you keep all your books and stationery. Organize you clothes the night before so in the morning you are not pulling you hair out trying to find something. Allocate a specific place for everything. Also make sure that you put everything back in its place after use.
In the office file your papers in labelled files or folders so you know where to look when you can’t find something. Put away papers and documents you are not using so that your desk is not cluttered.
If you are having a meeting prepare an agenda of what is to be covered. This will help you not to go off topic and therefore waste time on issues that are not relevant.
Organize you finances by drawing up a budget. This will help you keep track of your expenses so that you don’t find yourself in the middle of the month running around trying to find money.

My dear friend these are just a few examples that I have seen in my own life. There are many ways we can organize or reorganize ourselves to save time. Remember organization = efficiency.

God Bless
