Whatever happened to the paper-less office?
Twenty years ago we were sold a vision of the future, where everyone had a tidy desk and information would be stored electronically.
I’m still waiting.
A desk covered in papers is energy-sapping and can induce restless memory syndrome
(like restless leg syndrome but with fewer chances that you’ll kick someone).
It’s almost impossible to focus or concentrate when you have papers piled up on your desk.
Every time you look at the papers, your brain is trying to make sense of them.
What a waste of energy.
The least you can do is have a clear desk policy and tidy it up before you go home at night.
And take solace in the fact that everything’s backed up on your computer.
You’ll be amazed by how much more efficient you can be.

What's on my mind
About Me
- Kevin Jackson
- The glasses are important, since I’m almost totally blind in one eye. This means I have zero depth perception. Instead of making snap judgements, I have to think around a subject and look again to try and gain a sense of perspective. And that’s what I’m doing here - taking a different view of the trends and patterns around us to see if they’re as close as they seem, or further away than we thought. There’s not a discipline within the communications mix that I haven’t spent time in – what connects them though, is my passion for igniting advocacy and word-of-mouth. I’ve also worked on multi-platform campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands, we are all on first-name terms. Ultimately, whether it’s a consumer, business or internal audience, no one is exempt from my belief in engaging experiential communications. Over the last four years ago, I’ve been busy developing relationships across the telecoms, technology, FMCG, retail and energy sectors, to name a few.
