Many people are disorganized, both at home and at work. They can’t find their car keys, their shoes, the mustard bottle in the fridge, the bill that was due last week, or the report their boss needs in one hour. The problem with disorganization is that it’s costly. Check out some of these statistics from the National Association of Professional Organizers:

• Office workers waste on average 40% of their workday because of lack of organizational skills
• About 25% of workers save things in piles instead of in files. Thus, they spend extra time handling the same piece of paper twice.
• 80% of what we file away we never use again.
• The average American will spend one year of their life searching through desk clutter for misplaced objects

We all know that we should be more organized; the problem is actually doing it, or, in some cases, knowing how to organize.

It can be extremely easy to let tasks and papers pile up on your desk until, before you know it, you have a huge stack of papers that may take an hour or more to get through. Thus, you need to set aside about 20 minutes once a week in order to go through your pile of papers and organize them. Throw away what you don’t need, and only file what you think you’ll need.

In order to do our jobs, we often need an array of office supplies. However, without organization, these office supplies can get misplaced or lost, which results in us having to either spend time to look for them, or replace them, which is costly. Obutto suggests that you invest in some trays and containers and start organizing everything that is lying around. Your pens and pencils can go in a pencil holder or a designated drawer. You can have a bowl for things like rubber bands, paper clips, and extra staples. Labeled trays for frequently used paperwork items that come and go are useful, and by using plastic containers, you can see what is inside of them, which makes finding items easy as well. The more organized you are, the more productive you will be.

While you want to personalize your workspace, such as with an ergonomic workstation from Obutto, there is a line between personalization and unnecessary clutter everywhere. You can keep some drawings from your kids, but when you have 50 hanging around your office walls and your desk, this can be distracting. You can classify items as unnecessary if you only use them once a month. Thus, only keep out items that you use in a week. Everything else needs to find its place.

The problem with unnecessary items on your desk is that they distract you during the day from your workflow, and when you do need to find something, you can’t find it, or it takes you longer to find it, because you have to riffle through the clutter on your desk. Remember the trash can is your friend. It’s okay to let go of things you’ll never touch again.

In order to be productive and efficient at work, you need two things: comfort and organization. You need to be comfortable so you can sit and get your work done, and you need to be organized so you can focus on the task at hand. 

Obutto offers both of these necessities in our ergonomic workstations that are designed for hours of comfort and for workspace flow. Our fully articulating keyboard, mouse, monitor mounts, and tabletops will allow you to adjust these items in the best positions for you. In addition, we offer a cup holder so you can enjoy your morning cup of coffee while you read your morning email announcements. 

In addition, our ergonomic workstations double as top-of-the-line sim racing cockpits. These sim racing rigs elevate your feet and allow for the proper spacing of the monitors from you. Mount up to three monitors for the rest racing simulator cockpit experience. Order yours today!
