If you present yourself as a neat freak or an in-between, people most likely will perceive you as a good worker. You start to wonder how they keep their personal items at home organized. But in the office, you have to show that you are a neat person, since you are showing people how well you perform at your job.

This definitely saves you time and money, so that you can focus on doing whats most important to your business - making money. The downfall of outsourcing is that youre not sure if the quality of the work will be presented, since you are relying one someone or a company to do the work for you and might not be to your standards.
