(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - If you think you should be able to get more done in a day, you’re right. But if you think that you have to work harder to accomplish more work, think again.
More often than not, inefficient work practices happen because of your physical space, not some fatal character flaw. What a relief!
Three ways […]

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - Let’s get one thing clear - Melissa is not a slacker. Or lazy. Melissa is actually running three (yes, three) businesses out of her home office - as well as maintaining her personal financial records there.

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - Last week, I watched this interview of Virgin’s Richard Branson which is from TED Talks series (highly recommended). It’s taken me a whole week to make sense of Branson’s ideology and how it relates to the organized office. It’s that good.
