No time to organize and your desk is a mess? Perhaps you should call Timesavers Services.

That could very well describe what Brian Callanan, president of Integrated Corporate Technologies, did before he relied on the Cooper City business that assisted him in getting better organized.

Licensed, bonded and insured, Timesavers Services is the brainchild of its president, Diane Hatcher. Established in 1998 by the former educator and claims administrator, this one-woman operation has helped clients throughout South Florida get more organized.

With an overwhelming demand for her services, Hatcher said her aim is to get individuals to maintain organized working environments.

“Today, more than ever, people are balancing hectic and fast-paced schedules with the responsibilities of their careers. I try to incorporate small changes into their daily routines to help them become more efficient,” she said.

Understanding the importance of being organized, Hatcher, 48, decided to utilize her talents and branch out as a first time entrepreneur.

While she initially offered a variety of services that included personal shopping and running errands, Hatcher decided to direct her energy towards organizing filing systems in offices and homes.

Familiar with the services provided by Hatcher’s business, Callanan said he’s pleased with the result she accomplished.

“It’s really important for me to be able to locate things that I need throughout the day. Timesavers Services is a business that I would highly recommend for anyone looking to stay on top of things in his office,” he said.

In order to help her clients become organized, Hatcher said she first evaluates their individual needs.

With their goals in mind, she then tries to understand what organizational skills have not been successful for them.

“We each have a different way that we prefer things to be organized. The challenge is getting people to implement minor changes that will have a lasting effect on the way they function professionally,” she said.

The following are a few tips Hatcher recommends that could assist you in becoming better organized:

Create a daily to-do list, by prioritizing tasks

Clear your desk of everything except the most important and often used items

To avoid distractions, keep one project on desk at a time

Keep phone calls to a minimum, and make all business calls first

Turn organizing into a continuous process by clearing your desk weekly and files and cabinets semi-annually

Account Executive Meghan Nicoletti said that after her two-hour session with Hatcher, she has noticed a change in the way she organizes.

“If I’m not organized, I have to work three times harder in order to catch up. By simply following some of the tips I learned from Diane, things have become easier to handle,” she said.

While this was her first time using an organizing service, Nicoletti said she is going to remain committed to following Hatcher’s recommendations.

Timesaver’s fees begin at $45 an hour, with a three hour minimum. In addition, some business and administrative work such as typing of databases is less.

To monitor her clients’ progress, Hatcher makes a follow-up call a week after their meeting.

“The key is to get people not to slip back into bad habits. Once I make initial contact with them, I want to make sure that they continue to follow my advice,” she said.
