O is for… Organise

As well as an opportunity to develop good habits and time management skills, a new job or role is also a good time to get organised. So take some time at the outset to work out what has gone well and what needs to be improved in relation to your own organisation skills. How can you set yourself up at the outset to ensure that you are organised, develop good habits and save time?

This can develop throughout your job. It does all need done and put in place right at the start. However, if you can start as you mean to go on – it can really help. As you start to learn all the processes that the company and your team already have in place, you can incorporate these into your organisation activities. You can also suggest where improvements can be made. The important thing is that it can be easier to do when you have less stuff and hopefully a quieter inbox.

Action Point: Get organised! Here are some examples of things you might like to do – email folders, stationery and intray, filing system or labelling system, go paperless or set up physical folders.
