Is Your Desk A Mess? Clearing Out The Clutter

Do you ever feel that life is getting on top of you? Do you get overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done? Do you waste hours searching frantically for important documents, lost keys, and other essential items? Unfortunately for a lot of us, the answer to these questions is yes.

Keeping your surroundings tidy and organized might sound like a chore, but it’s actually one of the best ways to obtain peace of mind and a calmer outlook on life and at work.

Schedule Some Time – Like everything else on your to-do list, clearing out the clutter will only get done if you schedule some time for it. Tasks like tidying, organizing and cleaning are incredibly easy to put off, because they’re rarely urgent until, of course, you lose that very important report, your charger, or your car keys. Try giving yourself a target of just half an hour of non-stop tidying each day for a week. You’ll be surprised just how much you can get through.

Concentrate On One Place – One big mistake when clearing out the clutter is to try to do a bit of everything at once. Focus on getting one place completely cleared and organized; this will give you an instant motivational boost.

Tackle Something Each Day – Keep up the momentum by doing some tidying each day. Even if you’re really short of time, you can manage ten minutes to clear out some clutter. Don’t dismiss electronic clutter as it can be just as time-and-energy draining as physical mess.

Don’t Undo Your Good Work – Once you’ve got things to a tidy state, it won’t require much effort to keep them that way. Make sure that you get yourself into good habits so that things stay automatically tidy. For most people, this means making sure that items get put back to their proper places after use and spending a little time each week doing any extra tidying.

Signs, signs, signs: How valuable is road frontage?

Business owners in the Boise Valley want and need large amounts of signage for their commercial properties so it is crucial that their business has plenty of road frontage.

For business owners, it is best for them to have their stores located conveniently to their customers. If they are on a main highway or road, they will have great visibility to the traffic going by. This can quite possibly bring customers into their stores that they normally wouldn’t see through their normal marketing. Also, a customer new to the location can find the store much more easily when in the line of sight. Visibility on major road frontage is a huge advantage for the business owners and their stores.

Another reason why business owners like to have their stores along major road frontage is because of the ease in which customers can enter and exit the property. If they are forced to drive through large parking lots, wind behind other major stores, and park on a land locked parcel, there is a possibility that the customer would go to a more easily accessible competitor.

The Sundance Company’s success comes from the fact that we truly care about the companies we do business with. We pride ourselves on the quality of our portfolio, the depth of our management team and, most of all, our dedication to our customers. With that being said, all of The Sundance Company’s commercial real estate building in the Boise Valley feature major road frontage and were built in high traffic areas giving the business owners excellent visibility and ease of access that business owners look for in a profitable commercial property.

Ways to Make Your Office Space More Efficient

Below you will find some of the ways that you can get your office working more efficiently for you. Try a few and see what works, and you may be surprised by how much more gets done, without an increase in effort.

1. Kill the air. Many offices are kept so cold that the employees are wasting time talking about how cold they are and trying to keep warm. If you do a better job of keeping the office temperature at a comfortable level, your employees will be more productive and you will save money on your bill.

2. Nix meeting rooms. A lot of wasted office time takes place in meeting rooms. Get rid of those and hold standing-room-only meetings by the water cooler or coffee pot.

3. Let there be light. Try to make sure that natural light comes into the office. Natural light, especially on a sunny day, can energize your employees and help them be more productive.

4. Ergonomics count. Because you spend so much time each week in the office, it is important that you be comfortable. Invest in ergonomic products that will make you more comfortable, and that will increase efficiency.

5. Go with the flow. Arrange the office so that it is in line with the traffic flow. A couple of minutes saved here and there throughout the day really add up, over the month, and year.

6. Keep kids out. Millions of people work from home offices today, and more of them get started every day! If you work at home, make your home office ‘off limits’ to the kids. The last thing you need is to be tripping over toys or having important work items misplaced or drawn on.

7. Think minimalism. The new thing, these days, is to be a minimalist, which entails getting rid of things you don’t need, and keeping only the bare minimum. This will work in the office environment as well as in other areas of life.

8. Headphone help. Keep an iPod or headset in your desk. Many people find that putting it on when there are distractions is a good way to focus and get more work done.

9. Stand up. Researchers have found that you are more likely to get work done if you are standing up. If this is a possibility for you, give it a try and see what it does for your productivity.

10. Hire an organizer. We all know that organization in the office is important, but most don’t want to take the time to get it done. Invest money in hiring a professional organizer to get it all done for you; then you can take it from there. With the increase in efficiency, it will pay for itself in no time.

11. Get a sign. Every time someone walks into your office to ask a question, it slows down your productivity. If you are busy working on something, hang a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door until you are finished.

12. Pace yourself. Forget trying to turn everything on its head in one week in the hope of making your office the most efficient one around. Instead, pace yourself and choose one thing to implement at a time. Master that, then move on to the next.
