Organize 365 Cycle of Organizing: Step 3 Increase Productivity

Organizational math.

As a math teacher, I knew that if there were any holes in my student's learning, they would struggle with future math concepts. Math skills build upon each other… just like organizing skills.

1. There is a reason that most organizational programs start with decluttering (subtraction): you must reduce your pile before you can move on to step 2… organizing.

2. Organization adds minutes to your days (addition) and speeds up your pace as you get through the tedium of everyday household tasks.

3. But, increased productivity is the holy grail we all seek. Once you know how to multiply time, there is no turning back.

The skill of being a productive person starts with decluttering spaces, calendars, commitments, and sometimes people. Adding the weekly cadence of organizing your time, your priorities, and your actionable to-dos leaves you with a manageable action plan.

I used to think productivity = being busy. Now I know that everyone is busy. Ironically, the people who look least busy are usually the most productive.
