In my opinion, the return is negligible. But organization is still a good thing to have. It’s never a bad idea to be organized, but I think ROO is over-hyping it a bit.

Not that I care to promote it anyway...I just found the coincidence interesting. Thanks for making me look like some sort of weirdo.

Yes I know they're the most profitable - at the moment. But - at the moment, they are also apparently satisfied with our service. The bigger gain arguably lies in devoting the extra 20 minutes to the newer, smaller customers in the hope of building their patronage to a much bigger and more profitable level.

Lots of us who read this blog have blogs of our own. It really bugs me when people use the comments to promote their own blog, as in, "I just blogged on this subject" or some variant of that. OK rant over. I agree that getting and staying organized is the key to productivity, and I also agree that there are management types who will take something like ROO beyond extreme. Sometimes a little downtime is what's needed to be creative. Okay I’m finally going to say it, after thinking it many times. Lots of us who read this blog have blogs of our own.

When my office is disorganized, it takes me twice as long to get things done. It is such an effort to mentally think about what is on my desk and what I should attack first.
