Hello fellow prosperous heart!
Are you frustrated in your business due to lack of time or not being able to remember where some of your precious files are?
You’re not alone. And according to Small Biz Trends, 75% of struggling small business owners believe being disorganized leads to productivity loss.
And in 2015, a survey done by Decluttr (a service for turning unwanted clutter into cash) and the National Association for Professional Organizers (NAPO) found that 54% of Americans surveyed were overwhelmed with clutter. 78% had no idea what to do with it or found it too complicated to deal with so they let it build up…
And what happens when people get overwhelmed?
Usually nothing. As in can’t make a decision.
Ever felt that way? And that’s not all, but you can learn more here for what else physically happens. (Even Forbes did an article on how stress impacts the business world here.)
Chaos’ Impact To Your Health
