Frederick Taylor, who brought industrial engineering to our economy in the early part of the twentieth century, left a bitter legacy in some regards. But in at least one way, he was right on target. The better you organize your space to minimize wasted motion including the time you waste looking for lost items the more productive you’re able to become.
Your space says a lot about who you are, and it may say things to others that you would just as soon they not perceive. Being from “the other side of the tracks,” living in “the boondocks,” having space that looks like “they city dump” can all label you in the eyes of others.
More important, your space will inexorably begin to influence yourself image. Think carefully about the spaces in which you choose to live and work, and put love and pride into them.

Before diving into the question of how your workspace is configured, raise the question of where it’s located. Are you spending unnecessary time on a commute when you could more efficiently be working from home?
Could you be more effective relocating your office to be closer to key suppliers or customers? Are you operating out of one office when two would be more efficient or vice versa?
