Time Saving Organization

NAPO Helps Put Time on Your Side During 

National Time Management Month 

MT. LAUREL, N.J. — If the hustle and bustle of work, family, friends — and life in 

general — is bogging you down, let the National Association of Professional Organizers 

(NAPO) help to better manage your time. During the month of February, National Time 

Management Month, NAPO is emphasizing the importance of improving time 

management as a way to achieve a more balanced life. 

Organizational systems to manage your activities are key to effective time management, 

whether at home or in the office. According to a survey conducted on behalf of NAPO 

recently, 96 percent of the 400 adults polled said they could save time every day if they 

were more organized at home. In addition, time management is one of the top 10 

organizing specialties for NAPO’s nearly 4,300 members. 

“Research indicates that people waste an hour or more each day searching for lost items 

or working in ways that are not productive,” said NAPO President Standolyn Robertson. 

“This could translate into the loss of money and valuable time that could be used for 

other important projects. If individuals examined where their time was going on a daily 

basis, they could determine better ways to use it and reduce wasted time.” 

The need for personal organizing in today’s fast paced world –

In today’s society of dual incomes and baby boomers retirement, consolidating and organizing affects your productivity more than you realize. Yes, technology helps us move and communicate quicker. This is exactly why simple personal organization is put to the wayside.  WHO HAS THE TIME! You may be asking yourself what I am referring to. It is the pictures you have been meaning to hang up. It is the storage in the basement that has no order. Maybe it is those pictures you haven’t yet uploaded or the old 35mm pictures that would be nice to have on a DVD.

Think about that never ending to do list. Just when you think that you have accomplished what you need on your weekend, the list gets even larger on Monday. In an economy and unemployment rate people are certainly hesitant to take an extra day off or leave early to do personal items.
