Michael Faraday once said, “The five essential entrepreneurial skills for success are concentration, discrimination, organisation, innovation and communication.”

Organisation is a pillar in success. Without organisation one cannot work, create a successful career or think strategically. Organisation in the workplace is seen as unimportant – as long as you can find the papers, eventually, what does it matter? Well, honestly, it does. Without being organised at work you are at the risk of:

• losing precious time
• not being able to keep track of documents
• spending more time on tasks than originally intended

Working at home is no different. You need to have your desk organised and have impeccable time management skills. You need to be professional and always, but always on time. This will increase your productivity in the office and help you with getting the right things done. Being more productive is not difficult once you have organised your workplace, whether it is at home or in an office.

When working from home, you must have a room for yourself where no one else enters. This is paramount to working from home and personal productivity as you need everything to be organised in your way and for nothing to get lost (or maybe eaten by a toddler!) – in short, a guarantee that anything that you leave in a certain place will be there when you are back the next morning. Among the best things you can do for your personal productivity is to ensure you have online organisation system and a filing system to help you stay focused on the task at hand and stop you from drifting into various other things that can crop up when you are working at home. You must also remember to organise your time properly – too much work and no play can not only ruin your personal relationships, but will impact on your work performance after a while.

All in all, remember why you are doing this – with the proper organisation, you can spend that extra time with your family that you wanted. Just remember, being organised takes less work than the other option – wasted time.
