Have you ever been to a funeral parlour and felt very happy? This question might sound morbid but you need to also ask the question whether your home and the organization that you work for has an environment that gives you the impression that it could be a funeral parlour. You know melancholic, depressing and giving you a sense that everything is meaningless.
It is a fact that your environment can influence you in many ways. This includes the way you think and act. Naturally a positive environment will make you a happier person which in turn will make you more productive and effective in what you are doing. Therefore, no matter how good you are in other aspects of your life you need to pay some attention to your physical environment to ensure that it gives you a feeling of euphoria and is charged with positive energy.
1. Tidy Your Table and Remove CluttersYou don't have to spend large sums of money to create such an environment. All it takes it a bit of tidying up and you will notice that you will see things from a different perspective. In my workshops and seminars, I have always asked my participants as to whether their work table in their office is messy.
Many of them say yes! Yet! They also add that despite the mess they know where things are and they are comfortable with this.
Although they may think that they feel comfortable, the truth is that they are far from being productive or effective in what they are doing. The reason is simply because they have to work extra hard each time to get at what they want.
To find a particular file from the pile of mess is certainly going to take longer than if the table was nicely arranged and everything is in order. By taking the initiative of clearing up the mess and removing all the unnecessary paraphernalia you will free yourself from the hassle of working harder at what you are doing.
