Dissipation of 8 false ideas of the organization

Some people were to have organized cream and then there are those of us who fight with the organization of every year in this time. It seems that it is always at the end of the year when that small annoying insect begins to give him pequen@o codazo to the clear things for above and begins the organized New Year.

Well, I have read hardly on all directions, the books, and the beneficial hints on obtaining organized (in fact, I am thinking about the writing a same one), and must say to him that there are some false ideas that they are fomented by each gurú of organization. It will be my pleasure to give the “skinny one him” in that in today column.

Here they are the 8 false ideas that we can reject:

  1. Paper of the handle once. This is not only impossible, but in the majority of the cases he is little realistic. Instead of to handle the paper once, to be able in the habit to do something with each piece of paper to move it advanced it. If you secure to a certain information on a next seminary/a professional fair, for example, to decide if you take care of or no. If you must then take care of to observe the date in his calendar and to sign for above. If no, then to shake the information immediately. If you want to hope to sign for above, later to make a note in his planner to respond long before the term and to file the paper in his file of the “mess”.
  2. To always maintain the papers stored outside view: Some of us better work when its writing-desk is clear, whereas others feel choked if they are not surrounded by the piled up ones of paper. If you are “outside view - outside a type of the mind”, papers of the subsistence you often use close in archives or the compartments of the accumulation. They will be accessible, will not hinder its writing-desk yet. When working in a project, extension towards outside that the papers were related to her, and when they make him put them of side together in a place.
  3. Each is due to organize to the same degree. Diverse people work differently. Not to feel that you must work equal who some other. To find an organization level comfortable, and to realize the changes necessary to maintain that level. Drawing generally that line when I am looking for something and I cannot find it; that one is when I know that the things need to obtain reorganized.
  4. Soon we will be a society “without paper”. You do not create it. The experts have been saying that per years, and we will not be without paper during long time. It is not the technology that is the problem, he is the human nature that is the culprit. We are creatures of the habit and used to see things in the impression something that in a computer screen. The youngest generation now is training in the computers in an early age, so when they assemble by hand of work, the society “without paper” will have one better occasion to make a reality.
  5. A planning system must fit each. When they are used correctly, the daily planners are an ideal way to remain organized. To have present, nevertheless, some for to many design them users. When buying to a planner, he is on paper or electronic, determining what you wanted that you do and who she chose a system therefore. If you cannot find one to adapt to his system, to design his the own ones based on his individual needs.
  6. You must be born organized to be organized. We learn good and bad habits in an early age.  n is possible to change any maÌ habit, including disorganization. The young people rose sometimes in an organized rebel of the atmosphere like the adults by disorganization. The opposite is also truth, but neither one nor the other is carved in stone and the behavior can be modified.
  7. You MUST use a list of the “mess”. The daily planning is not realistic for each. Somebody can do the same task every week, but others find their plans daily changing. To consider its necessity particular, later to plan by the day or the week.
  8. Average being organized that is a perfectionist. A perfectionist can spend time in the insignificant details whereas it neglects the great picture. When others quickly finish to a project and the time, the perfectionist continues working until the project is perfect. A perfectionist becomes more effective when it lowers his standards slightly and concentrates in ways to increase productivity.

The deception, when it is taken seriously, can prevent to him to do what you want. The next time that you hear to one of those “gurúes of organization” which they marry one of the aforesaid false ideas, consider his value and work of developing his own style of the organization.
