Benefits of Being Organized - Part 2

Being organized offers different benefits in different situations.  Last time we looked at how being organized helps in the workplace, now we'll look at how it can help with school.

Organizing For School

Better Grades 
When it comes to school and organizing, the obvious benefit is it helps with getting good grades. Having a binder to organize your notes and handouts will make it so much easier when it’s time to study, especially when there are so many different subjects. Have separate binders for Math, Science, English, History and all the other subjects and you won’t have to worry about misplacing notes or handouts.  Alternatively, you can have one binder with colored dividers to separate subjects.

*Note: You may want to use sheet protectors to help keep your note from wear and tear!

Better Time Management
Being organized will help save a tremendous amount of your time. Rather than spending time finding your loose notes or handouts, if you had them organized in the first place then you could spend more time studying.

One of the important things to learn in school is how to manage your time.  In high school, time management means how you split your time between studying for different subjects or working on school projects, and joining extra curricular activities after school.  There needs to be a balance between work and play, and so it starts with being organized for school so you can give yourself enough free time to play and be more successful with your studies.

In University, time management is even more important because you might have to juggle between different part time jobs, and going to classes and working on school projects at the same time.  The workload in University also increases significantly and so it becomes more important to be organized in order to manage your time between different subjects. Being organized definitely helps with improving your time management skills.

Over the next few weeks, we'll look and see what specific benefits there are to being organized in different situations. This week, lets see what it's like to be organized...

In the Office 

Professional Look 
Nothing is more unprofessional than being disorganized in the office. I’m sure you’ve seen it before, where you walk into an office and you see papers lying around or just stacked on top of each other on cabinets, or watching people search through unorganized documents to find what you’re looking for. These are all results of being unorganized and it most definitely gives out an unpleasant and unprofessional reputation.

Using binders and sheet protectors, offices can eliminate all the loose papers lying around and have them organized accordingly into their binders and placed onto cabinets. This is especially true for administrative purposes. You can make binders for all sorts of documents, like: claim forms, receipts, records of employments letters or contracts, hard copies of employment information, etc.

Efficient 
When your boss asks you for documents, he or she most likely will expect you to have it right away or know where it is. If you had them organized then it’ll only take a second to find it and pass it over. This saves you a lot of time and effort. It also gives your boss a good impression.

Eliminate Stress 
Working in an organized and tidy environment can help in many ways to increase work productivity. One of the benefit is it helps eliminate stress. When you have things piled up in your workspace, you might feel this invisible pressure around you whereas if things are organized you might feel more relaxed.
