Vitalia Senior Residences at Westlake Utilizes Organization to Reduce Stress and Increase Productivity

Being organized can help you feel happier, healthier, and more relaxed, while disorganization can lead to an increased stress level and depression. Clutter leads to heightened stress levels. So, not only is decluttering office spaces and storage rooms a relaxing task, but it can also provide a better understanding of inventory and space requirements. 

When you prioritize organization, you give yourself time to focus on what really matters, like your daily schedule and tasks. This allows you to concentrate on what needs to be completed that day, instead of where you put the tools and materials you need to finish the items on your to-do list. 

Organization creates a calm mind which brings answers to the forefront of a problem. Here at VITALIA Senior Residences® at Westlake, Plant Operations is focusing on lowering our stress with better organization to create improved productivity.

Some tasks I perform to stay organized are to perform a morning clean of my workspace, which includes my tools and desk space.

When my physical space is clean, I feel organized and know I have the tools to start the day. I believe first impressions are the best and hope that when the team sees organization they will follow and create their own clean space. When your space is clean and organized, you tend to feel better about yourself.

I feel stressed or overwhelmed with a messy desk. When you have paperwork scattered all over the place it creates a different type of atmosphere.

No matter what your job or occupation, the time spent managing your workspace and work area will pay off greatly with reduced anxiety and greater yield.
