Signs of Disorganization at Work

In a 2011 study commissioned by Professional Organizers in Canada, 7 in 10 Canadians who work say their workplace is disorganized and report feelings of stress, frustration and failure. Disorganization not only affects the individual’s work, it affects others – both colleagues and customers. Added up, there is a significant cost to being disorganized.

Signs of Disorganization at Work

A messy desk may be the most obvious sign of disorganization; it is however, not the only indication. Keep a lookout for:

  1. Time lost searching for misplaced items for information.
  2. Being late for or missing appointments.
  3. Missing work deliverables or submitting incomplete or unprofessional work.
  4. Not spending time on the most important tasks.
  5. Missing work due to stress or preventable workplace injuries.

The impact of a disorganized approach to work includes:

  1. Lower overall productivity and/or working longer hours.
  2. Lack of credibility.
  3. Job dissatisfaction and other negative feelings.
  4. Lack of career growth.
  5. Absenteeism.

Getting organized is not about moving from procrastination to perfection. It is about being the most productive person you can be. A sense of achievement is indeed what drives many of us. There is research to suggest happy people are more productive people. I suggest the reverse is also true – productive people are more satisfied people. Now, what will you spend all that extra time on?


TRUTHBOMB: Getting organized is not about moving from procrastination to perfection. It is about being the most productive person you can be.

How Can a Watermark Be a Human Rights Matter?

Informed Consent – As an HSP, how much information do you want to health professionals to share?

The SEED Model™ of High Sensitivity

The tension is real. With employees being more in The tension is real. With employees being more in tune with and wanting to hold onto the ways they work best, how do we design the way we work together?

If you're a leader or HR specialist this *complimentary* conversation is for you. We'll be exploring: 

- how to understand what invites a person's best performance
- employee challenges around disclosure
- leader concern about inviting difficult conversations
- support you would find helpful
- how equity is understood
- the variety of design parameters that shape how we work

Work and life have become more complex but the drive to get things done is stronger than ever. How do we reconcile this and design around what's most important? It's important to Ask! these questions and better understand each other.

how do you choose a hair salon? clearly, the qua how do you choose a hair salon? 

clearly, the quality of cut goes without saying, but what else goes into it?

you’re looking at a pic of the salon i have been visiting for at least 14 years. 

i can count on the cut, but it’s the light that locked me in as a customer. it even makes me forgive water temperature inconsistencies. 

known as Rico of Italy after the original owner, it has been given a complete refresh by owners Oliviera and Enza and is now known as @olenzabeautyloft 

if you want to hear about another fab salon that gets customer service, check out episode 3 of the Happy Space Podcast to meet @sjhairdesign and learn about their “silent service”. 🔗 in bio.

have you ever felt debilitated by something you ca have you ever felt debilitated by something you can’t control?
😊😊😊what if it was excessive blushing...that left you anxious, not smiling?

“I found that the more people knew the less of a secret I had to carry around anymore. So I worried less about people noticing that I was blushing once more people knew about it, but the response, in general, has been, ‘I had no idea this affected you so much.’”

🎙these are powerful words from the author of “Red Face”, Russell Norris, in our conversation on the latest episode of the “Happy Space Podcast”.

Russell shares 

👨‍🍼 how his children changed his life

💊 how he moved from addiction to strategic use of medication

🧘🏼‍♀️ the journey to find peace with social anxiety

We have a fascinating discussion about what his struggle was really like, some of the strategies that he tried and found successful, and some that didn’t work so well. I invite you to not only listen to our conversation today but also to check out his book. It’s a wonderful view of this challenge which afflicts many, many people, and is also useful for anybody looking to build self-regulation skills.

it might sound trivial, but a watermark did indeed it might sound trivial, but a watermark did indeed become a matter of human rights. 

read the full story in my blog where i share the context, learning, and opportunity. 

find out:

- how was the watermark used?
- what problem did it cause?
- is a low threshold to visual sensory input simply a preference or can it be considered a disability/impairment?
- what did disability rights groups and a US lawyer looking at ADA have to say
 
i would love to know your thoughts.

does connecting on a personal level help employees does connecting on a personal level help employees connect professionally?

author, speaker, and advocate for humanity, Joe Mull, CSP, M.Ed. joined me on the Happy Space Podcast and shared these wise words:

🙂 Clare: in 2001 I was working in a telecom company and my team was in three different cities. I was in the fourth city, and I came up with the idea, I think we need an intranet. We need an internet where we can share personal information. so now I can know more about Joe because then I’m going to care and it’s almost like you’re building this under this fuller understanding of someone so you actually care about them first as a human, and then you’ll support them as a colleague. 

📣 Joe: and this is something that has been studied for years. social science researchers call it distance, right? the distance that we have from someone influences the degree to which we will modulate our behaviour in their presence and the degree to which we are willing to be forgiving of them, right? if you think about comments on a facebook post or your local online newspaper, when we don’t know anyone, there are no consequences for showing up as the worst version of ourselves. but when you start to connect with people and you find those things in common, you’re actually creating an environment where you care a little bit more too about how that person sees you. and it doesn’t have to be really complex things. It doesn’t have to be sophisticated team retreats. even just giving people a chance to work together on something for 10 minutes can be a game changer in terms of those relationships.

🙂 Clare: it’s small, but intentional actions to build that understanding of each other as people.

❓ what‘a one way you invite connection with employees?

how do you foster a trusting environment in a work how do you foster a trusting environment in a work setting?

author, speaker, and advocate for humanity, @joemull77 , CSP, M.Ed. joined me on the Happy Space Podcast and shared these wise words:

✨ “when you create an environment where people experience trust, when you create an environment where people get their ideal job doing meaningful work for a great boss, you dramatically lower the chances that you’re going to trigger active disengagement in a person.” 

🔥 “you’ve got to almost trust first in order to eventually get to a place where your organization cultivates that higher level of commitment and integrity among people. they maybe need to have a little bit of faith in people and you know, are you going to get burned every once in a while? probably…”

😃 “but people generally do a great job when they believe they have a great job. people tend to treat their employers well when their employers treat them well. And if we can operate that from that basic system, if we can ask ourselves what would make this place the very best place to be a blank, you know, whoever it is you’re employing, that actually starts you down the path of solving the right problems.”

❓ should leaders be more open when it comes to trusting their employees? do leaders need to be brave enough to trust their employees?
