We spend 37.5 million days a year looking for missing paperwork 🤯 That’s an average of 1.5 days per person! 73% of managers perceive those with messy desks as disorganised and 1 in 10 wouldn’t promote someone with a messy desk! 😲 The stats from Brother USA’s study are wild!! I’m one of the 41% who believe that having a tidy desk improves productivity. 🧘🏽♀️ Now I WFH a lot, I clean my desk every morning as part of a morning routine. I felt I had to share these stats today as it’s “National Clean Your Desk” day! So, if you’re gonna do it on one day of the year… 😅 I dare you to drop a pic of your office desk below. Let’s see who’s got the coolest desk… #productivity #WFH #deskgoals #entrepreneurtips #productivityhacks

An employee feels most powerful in office on six occasions -  . . . 1. Using exclamation marks in an email. Like this!!!!  2. Declining a meeting invite on the calendar 3. Saying "I've to jump on another call. Gotta go folks!". 4. Being the first one in the team to reach office in the morning.  5. Granting access to Google sheets 6. Using the word 'unprecedented' in meetings #employee #office #work #job

In an ideal world, staffing is perfect, workloads are balanced, and stress is nonexistent. The reality, however, often sees us stretched thin, with our team of four tackling the workload of five, leading to weekend catch-ups on emails. Here's a simple tip: Avoid overwhelming your team with weekend emails. Utilize the delay send feature to give your staff a well-deserved break and ensure they don't feel pressured to work outside office hours. Also, stagger Monday's email delivery times to ease them into the week more gently. (Don’t send them all to arrive at 8 am!!) Next week, I'll share a game-changing resource aimed at freeing your weekends from email altogether. Stay tuned!
