October 3, 2016 by Heather Filed Under: Organize, Paper management, Productivity, Systems & Techniques, Tips & Resources Leave a Comment

Can a TV Show help you be more productive? This episode of Crusher TV can!

Crusher TV::How to Create Empowering Workspaces

Alan invited me on Crusher TV back in September to share ideas on how to create empowering workspaces including evidence- based solutions and creative hacks. Because I was his guest, you get to view this episode for FREE below!

In this episode Alan shares 12 simple evidence -based solutions you can use to make adjustments  for a more productive and empowering workspace, including the following:

  • Eliminating Clutter
  • Choosing Colors
  • Activating Aromas
  • Controlling your Temperature

Download the full checklist when you subscribe to Crusher TV. Even if you only adjusted a couple of the items above, you would see benefits every single workday.

Along with these great solutions, I share how “image based” organizing can be a dangerous pitfall. Much like body image, when we think we should try to make something look a certain way we can set ourselves up for failure, disappointment, and feelings of shame. It’s not always about how a space looks, it’s about how it functions for you! But you don’t have to sacrifice form for function, you can learn to create both. Watch the full episode to see what action steps you can take to Crush It! At Work!

Whether you are Christian, Buddhist, Jewish or don’t affiliate with any faith, in particular, I think you will still be able to relate to this.

There is a trend lately to have no filing cabinet and sometimes even no desk space!

Time after time I go to a client assessment or am talking with someone about paperwork and they say they don’t have a system for storing papers. I get that lifestyles have changed.

June 24, 2016 by Heather Filed Under: Organize, Systems & Techniques 4 Comments

Some days I STRUGGLE with ideas to write about…SO I want to hear from you! What do you want me to blog about?

Maybe I don’t have anything unique to say about Organizing topics?

Organizing Topics

Or maybe NOT, I think I’m just stuck in my own head and don’t know what I know! The way I bring ideas together is just a bit different than someone else. How I say something might resonate with you in a way that it doesn’t with someone else. The same goes for how I work with clients to organize their spaces.
