Corporate Office ReclaimedI had an amazing collection of technical information and documentation and had piles all over my office. I had piles on my desk, piles on the floor, and I got to the point where I wasn’t able to have the data that I needed at my fingertips. I realized that I needed to call somebody who could help me get organized. Susan Kousek of Balanced Spaces encouraged me to throw stuff away. So now I have no stacks on the floor. Not a piece of paper on the floor in my office. I thought I’d miss all the junk she had me throw away but I don’t – not at all. I’m never looking for anything. That’s one of the great things, plus everything is so intuitive. She helped me figure out how to organize information I need so I can get it more easily. She listens to what you need for your job and then has creative ideas to make you more efficient in retrieval of information that supports you in that role. And that, to me, was really the biggest key. Susan's suggestions were right on target.
Everything is where I can get to it very quickly now, so it’s much easier for me to find what I need and get information and supplies a lot more quickly.
I've been able to maintain the organization. It’s amazing. Everyone comes into my office and says, "You've kept it up. We're so happy for you!"
People like coming into my office for meetings now because there’s actually a place to put their books on my desk. Before, there was no room on my desk for anything and now you can come in and you can put your book down and it looks organized and I think it’s really nice.
She’s had an impact on how productive I am. I can tell my boss is happier because I have data for him when he needs it. When you’re organized, everything you present seems more organized. Susan's help has a huge value to make you more efficient. It’s really exceeded my expectations. Her ideas have really helped me stay organized and keep the office neat and tidy. |
