Hiring Someone To Help with The Mess
My office is a complete mess. It doesn’t necessarily look like a mess to the clients that come into it. I keep the clutter under control. But underneath the calm exterior is a pile of chaos. My files are in disarray. I have ten thousand things on my To Do list. And I feel like I’m never going to get out from under this mess.
I’m thinking seriously about hiring someone to help me get organized. I think that this would do two things:
- Motivate me to make a thorough To Do list. The list is long but it is only a mental list. I need to put down everything on paper from updating my computer software to sending out my college diploma frame for updated diploma framing. Then I can see what really needs to be done.
- Get assistance in actually doing these things. I just can’t do it all myself. It’s never going to get taken care of unless I neglect my clients in the process. I need to delegate these tasks to someone else.
I don’t know if I can justify the expense of hiring someone for this job. However, I don’t know if I can justify not doing it either!
