50% of homeowners rate the garage as the most disorganized place in the house and a place the entire family uses regularly.
On average we experience one interruption every 8 minutes or approximately 6-7 per hour. in an 8-hour day , that totals around 50 - 60 interruptions in the day. The average interruption takes approximately 5 minute. (Some take several hours or days; others may only take a few seconds.) If you are receiving 50 interruptions in the day and each takes 5 minutes, that totals 250 minutes, or just over 4 hours out of 8, or about 50% of the workday.
Americans spend 9 million hours each year looking for things.
A piece of paper is moved at least 8 times before it is tossed or filed.
The use of office paper has tripled since the birth of the computer.
Statistics have shown that 80% of all papers filed are never looked at again and 50% of all filed material going to storage has no retention value and should have been destroyed. Secretaries have estimated that 20% of their time is spent on filing and retrieving. That is equivalent to one work day each week.
The average American receives 49,060 pieces of mail in their lifetime; one third of it is junk mail.
For every hour spent in the planning phase, three to four hours are saved during the execution stage. Save yourself time by being proactive.

How do your areas look on average? Don’t worry, it’s ‘human, but disorder is our greatest enemy’. Solider, we can’t let our enemy get to our strong point, but it will, if we let it gnaw at our weak points. Strengthen the fence, would you, and do it quickly, efficiently and systematically, no matter the cost – 'an hour saved is an hour earned.'
We can't afford to be disorganized, for we can't do anything the best when we let into temptation and don't fulfill the responsibility given us. God chose us to be stewards of this world, and I do not want to let him down!
