For those that live in clutter, consider the demeanor you portray to clients.  Lets say you’re selling a home and your client is interested in you as an agent.  In most cases, the potential buyer will at some point get a glance or even a hard look at your desk.  If your desk abundantly overflows with hoards of scattered papers, this lack of organization may project a negative image.  So, consider that a few basic steps to alter the appearance of that clutter.

1. If you have an assistant, delegate some of your responsibilities to free up some of your time.

2. If you work alone, then you must handle every facet of your business. Schedule a consistent time each day for opening both mail delivered by the post office and email, and respond immediately whenever possible to get it off your plate.

3. Do not to feel obligated to say “yes” to everyone who asks for a favor. In other words, don’t over-commit.

4. Be selective when it comes to volunteering time and energy. You can offer to assist with a small portion of a project, but don’t agree to organize the entire event.

Clearing some clutter could help your own business as well your own peace of mind.
