Today's TQ Challenge: Keep Work Area Well Organized.
Be METICULOUS! What items on your desk are finished and waiting to be put away?
Be ORGANIZED! Don't you feel less distracted when your work area is organized neatly?
Be EFFECIENT! Once your desk is clean and organized, why not make a commitment to keep it that way?


You'll never approach maximum productivity in a disorganized workspace. Make sure your work environment supports and assists you, rather than detracts and resists you. Keep it clean, orderly and well stocked. Invest in the best equipment and furnishings you can afford. Keep them in top condition. Remove anything that impedes your ability to stay at the top of your game. Add anything that improves your attitude or productivity.

"I keep my work area organized to support and assist me in maximizing results."

A high commitment (8J rated 8 or better) suggests you enjoy your work area. Your desk, computer, briefcase, phone system -- even the trunk of your car -- are all organized to help you be efficient and productive. Your work area is bright, clean, spacious and comfortable. There is a place for everything and everything is in its place. Your supplies are well stocked and your equipment is well maintained. You can get started on anything immediately, because there is nothing holding you back. Everything you need is within reach.
