Organize and Declutter Your Workspace
A FUNCTIONAL OFFICE CAN INCREASE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY
By keeping your desk neat, you’ll create the right mindset to tackle your day.
Knowing where to find what you need quickly can save valuable time and keep you focussed.
THEN CHOOSE THE RIGHT ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS
Setting up the right systems will make finding what you need easy:
- Desk accessories: Use simple desk accessories for everyday items like pens, paperclips or sticky notes.
- Drawers/cabinets: Store items used less often out of sight in cabinets or drawers.
- Vertical files: File paperwork vertically, rather than in piles, to avoid overlooking anything out of view.
- Calendar: Hang a calendar where you can visually track your deadlines — dry eraser boards work great!
- Shelving: Keep books, magazines or other reference materials on shelves; complement them with houseplants or other decorative accents.
- Command center: Designate a space for your printer, charging station or in/out boxes, and make this space the command center of your operations.
As a rule of thumb, store like items together — common categories could include writing tools, paper/notepads, labels/files or mailing essentials. Knowing where to find what you need quickly can save valuable time and keep your mind on the task at hand.
