The short answer is no.
I remember a high school teacher saying that improving organization alone would raise you one letter grade. I did not believe that. It sounded perfectly silly to think that neatly placing my papers in a three ring binder complete with tabs would raise a letter grade. I was terribly organized and always achieved high grades. However, I soon grew tired of my mess and get it together. My solid “B” actually turned to an “A”. Disorganization does affect your performance and your overall grade. Would the same work in business?
As a person who suffers from disorganization, I can tell you that the more organized I am the better I work. I get more done and my work is of a higher quality. Disorganization causes stress and frustration. A frazzled business owner who finds her expense report in her sock drawer and her socks in her filing cabinet is headed for a breakdown. We all have our systems. Even those with messy desks will say they know where everything is. I have no doubt that many times that is true. However, it also leads to losing papers, receipts, post it notes, phone messages and more. No one wants to hire a dizzy business person and no one wants to work with someone like that.
If you struggle with disorganization then I suggest you find a system that works for you. For me, I have a filing cabinet and a storage box on my desk. There was no way I would ever put something where it belongs just because I was holding it. I knew it. My receipts knew it. Even my pens knew it. So, I have a catch all bin on my desk that gets cleaned out at least twice a week. It actually is not too bad and I know everything that is in there. My filing cabinet is what houses items I need but do not use daily. My system is Kindergarten simple. It has to be or I would never keep up with it. I move too fast throughout the day and need to keep it simple. Find your simplicity and your productivity will improve.
