    Studies Link Organization to Improved Sense of Well-Being

    Posted by admin on April 24th, 2010 and filed under professional organization | No Comments »

    Based on the results of a recent survey on organization conducted by the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), organization is needed at home and work for a sense of well-being. Additionally, research posted by the Wall Street Journal, U.S. News & World Report, and Mobile Technology Products citing responses from executives and professionals – from small businesses to Fortune 500 – indicated that benefits of organization emerging across the board have no demographic boundary. More importantly, the NAPO research revealed the drawbacks of not being organized—negative effects on both professional and personal levels. Brother International Corporation, marketers of P-touch® labelers, was particularly interested in these findings as they supported the positioning of P-touch® labelers as a key organizational tool.
