Problem: how can you better organise your workload?
Uses: good organisation at work is the key to efficiency: it allows you to reduce the chance of unexpected events whilst saving your energy.

FAQ:
Where do I begin?
How can I spot the obstacles to good organisation?

What is the role of delegation in the organisation of work?
Organisation and communication: do they go hand in hand?
How can I optimise my time?
How can I manage my priorities?
Do you feel overwhelmed or swamped by the number of things you need to do at work today? Do you not even know where to start, even though the stress is beginning to overwhelm you? This means that you urgently need to get organised, before things get out of control!
Organisation is actually a tool for wellbeing at work, which means that you will be less stressed and more efficient in your tasks. In a professional environment that is certain to demand more and more from you, where time is broken up and tasks are endless, being able to intelligently organise your work becomes almost a condition of survival.
Good organisation is acquired through the use of tools, but also through self-awareness with regard to your values, needs and limitations. As such, in this book you will find the key to better organisation, which is tailored to your personal functioning.
The objective is to implement ‘green’ organisation, meaning organisation that suits you, through an overall reflection on your personality
