A clean space is a productive space. That’s why we’ve created a simple checklist to help keep your office tidy. When your desk and office space are clean and organized, you feel more focused.
A large desk or workspace can be both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, you have a lot of space to spread out your work; however, you also have even more space for clutter to accumulate.
Regardless of your workspace, there are some essential cleaning habits to help keep that desk clean.
Here’s How to Keep Your Office Tidy
- Think of your desk as the nerve center of your office. Whatever takes up space needs to be functional. Keep only what you use daily on your desk.
- Keep office supplies organized and close by. Keep all of the items you need or run out of often close by in a drawer caddy or other organizer. There are so many options now, so have fun!
- Keep essential items in reach. Files and other things you use daily within arms reach. Make sure you get rid of the extra stuff that is cluttering the office, including the old phone book.
- Move your Monitor. By putting your monitor on a stand or wall mount, you will give yourself more desk space; you also will have your screen at the correct ergonomic level. Shelves above your desk, also offer a space to store binders and other resources within arms reach.
- Have a system. Take time to label and organize your files and store them upright to avoid piles of papers on your desk.
- Keep your paperwork organized. Papers and unopened mail need a place to go until you are ready to deal with them, keeping your desk clean keeps you on top of your projects.
These are easy and useful ways you can keep your office tidy without spending a lot of time or money. We’d love to hear from you! What are you favourite ways to keep your office clean?
