A Place for Everything, Especially Success!
Ever heard the old saying, "Clean desk, empty mind?" It seems we all subscribe to the feeling that if our desks and offices are messy, cluttered, overcrowded and burgeoning with billions of files, papers and books that we're really, really busy and really, really DOING something. We must be, right? With all that stuff going on, how could we be anything but incredibly successful. Add to that the sheer overwhelm that some of our schedules cause, and tidying up seems impossible let alone downright wrong.
Such was the case of Sarah, an incredibly successful lawyer and Daily Mastery client. We'd mastered a number of issues at her actual office when one day she "confessed" that she had a dirty little secret. Her home office, she lamented, was far worse than anything we'd confronted in her business suite. She went on to justify how messy it was citing her incredibly overwhelming schedule, to which she now had to admit as she was embracing her Daily Mastery tools wasn't nearly as overwhelming as she'd been led to believe.
With a growing sense of control, and a relaxing of the time constraints, Sarah was realizing just how damaging having an untidy, overwhelming and chaotic home office was to her business and her personal life. Since she worked from home a few days a week, linking with her office via telephone and internet, the difference in feeling and productivity levels was just too much to endure any longer.
Daily Mastery is not just about skills, it's also about having the right resources for the job. And as such, I often provide my clients with the right expert or product to get the job done. In Sarah's home office case, I brought in my favorite Feng Shui expert and together, along with Sarah, we spent a happy afternoon first cleaning up, sorting and then organizing as well as adjusting the actual energy of her entire home office.
In less than four hours, we transformed her non-functional, cluttered, unpleasant office in a beautiful, welcoming, rational space and effectively functional space. It changed much for her immediately: suddenly, sitting down to get her work done was not just easy it was fun! Before the clear-out, she needed deadline pressure to produce her work. Now, her work flows, and she often comments how astonished she is because she gets far more done in far less time than ever before. Most importantly she felt much more serene and in control as she easily and consistently applies the simple and effective Daily Mastery tools that help her achieve peaceful productivity.
