Spring Cleaning!

I apologize to my fans (Hi Mom!) for not sharing my thoughts over the past few weeks. I was too busy Spring Cleaning.

I didn't think you'd believe me.

However, Spring Cleaning is a great concept. For some, this is just theoretical.

With spring in the air, I recommend you clean these two important things.

1) Clean up your Personal Work Space.

Whether you have a cubicle, desk, or a corner office (which I hope to have one day soon), organizing those papers by either filing or recycling will do you a world of good, and reduce that feeling of "I'm Overwhelmed".

Try it. You'll like it.

But if your boss sees all that space around you and thinks you have room for more projects, please don't shoot the messenger.

2) Clean up your Work Team.

If you are working in any supervisory capacity, it's time to look at the team that reports to you and say "Are these the best people to work with me and help me deliver for what I am responsible for?". If you cannot say "Yes" without delay, it's a good time to think about what your team should look like, and go out and find them.

Spring is a time that many employees are considering change, and you could be their next new long-term employer.

Follow my advice, and not only will your work area be less cluttered, you'll have time to enjoy the weather outside.
