You’ll see maximum results if you:

• Tell yourself "I’m too creative to ever get organized."
• Think "I can get away with this mess because my clients never see my office."
• Started many systems and never committed to one
• Just throw stuff on top of the piles when you’re short on time
• Hired someone in the past who tried to impose a system that was too rigid
• Can’t quickly clean up because you don’t have permanent homes for categories
• Tell yourself "I would be organized if only I had more time."
• Can see and measure how the disorganization is affecting your business
• Resist delegating work because of lack of clarity and order
• Have missed deadlines due to your office clutter
• Tried to get organized with the help of a loved one for friend, and failed
• Shuffle the mess around, but rarely throw anything away
• Have discovered your strengths and in doing so, realized that organizing papers is not one of them!
