"So, business organizing..." my friend said. "What is that?"
"You know how when a professional organizer comes to someone's home, the homeowner can't find anything in the closet, the kitchen cabinets are overflowing and there are boxes in the attic that haven't been opened since they moved in?"
"Ahh," he said, grasping the concept immediately.
Many creative enterprises have the same issues as those homes: you can't find information you need when you need it, the piles on your desk are taking over and nobody's opened that file cabinet since you moved into that space. (Truth be told, that filing cabinet is starting to scare you.) And while the home situation is no picnic, there are very real, very tangible costs to having an un-Sorted creative business.
You know the costs already: The opportunities you've missed because you couldn't find contact or submission info before the deadline. That uneasy feeling that you're not doing your best work because of your physical environment. The times you were in your creative groove but had to stop and spend half an hour looking for something -- and when you finally found it, the groove had left the building.
What if you had a physical environment that didn't just inspire creativity but nurtured it as well? A Sorted environment provides the space and the systems to support your work and lets you keep the personal touches that spur your best ideas.
Better still, getting Sorted will transform your thinking about yourself and your own organizing abilities. Not only can creative people get organized (it's a filthy lie that we can't), organization leaves creative types free to do their best work without worrying about the state of their desk.
If your office or studio reminds you of a "before" room on an organization show, give Sorted a call. We'll create a space that brings out your best, and we'll do it using one of the Sorted mottos: "No shame, no blame... let's see if we can make it a game." Put the past behind you; it's time to get Sorted.
