There was a time, specifically after Christmas or Valentine’s Day, when I’d enter my design studio, and instead of it appearing to be a welcoming environment, it resembled a toy factory explosion.
Stuff was everywhere, random drawers were open, and shred was nearly up to my ankles. How could I possibly feel enthused about designing in chaos?
If this is what your workspace looks like right now, commit to cleaning up before you do one thing, make one call, or take one picture.
If you have an order to fulfill, I won’t stop you from doing that. However, you may not be as enthusiastic during the process as you are when the environment is clean and orderly.
My energy is high during the morning hours. That’s when I feel as though I can take on the world designing gift baskets, packing them for shipping, and returning telephone calls to prospects who request bids for conference gift baskets.
No matter when you feel energized, dedicate 15-20 minutes of that time to organizing your workspace so you don’t waste energy searching for baskets, scissors, or inventory you’ve yet to unpack.
When your design space was a disaster zone, what were you unable to find, and what convinced you to organize your space so that it didn’t happen again?
