Organizing Facts

Below are some interesting facts about organizing:

48% of American executives admit to having a messy desk but claim to know where everything is. In contrast, 12% say that although their desk appears to be organized, they have no idea where to find anything. (Fast Company Magazine, 8/04, 9/04)

80% of what we keep we never use. (Agency Sales Magazine, 4/1/03)

Executives waste six weeks per year searching for lost documents. (Fast Company Magazine, 8/04)

85% of the information that businesses need to operate does not fall into structured formats of automated spreadsheets or databases. Instead, it exists in a wide range of unstructured content such as email, graphics, or video. With so much diverse information, employees spend roughly 25% to 35% of their time looking for the information they need to do their jobs. This disadvantage is only likely to increase since experts predict that over the next three years businesses will create more information than has been created in all of history. (Document Magazine, October 2003)

An average organization:
Makes 19 copies of each document.
Spends $20 in labor to file each document.
Spends $120 in labor searching for each misfiled document.
Loses one out of every 20 documents.
Spends 25 hours recreating each lost document.
(PriceWaterHouseCoopers)

We wear 20% of the clothes we own 80% of the time. The rest hangs there, just in case. (Calgary Herald[Alberta, Canada], Karen Gram, 1/18/04)

50% of homeowners rate the garage as the most disorganized place in the house and a place the entire family uses regularly. (2003)
