Keeping Your Desk Clean

One of the biggest obstacles to working smart and efficiently at your job is a messy, disorganized desk. When you can’t find the documents or supplies you’re looking for, switching from task to task can take more time and ultimately cause you to accomplish less during the day than someone whose work area is more organized. Here are a few tips for keeping your desk neat so that you can work at an optimal level.

Clean off your desk. The best way to start a desk reorganization process is to completely clear your desk off. Seeing the desk’s surface for the first time in months or years can be a soothing experience for some, and provide you with the motivation needed to continue on with the task.

Add shelves. Take advantage of the vertical space at the back of your desk by adding some shelves. This can help you keep some items off of your desk and in their own dedicated places.

Prioritize. Look at the items you had on your desk and select a few that you use on a regular basis. The rest should not be stored on your desk, but instead in another location.

These are just a few steps you can take to keep your workspace clean and organized. If you’re looking to keep your entire office just as clean, consider giving a Minneapolis commercial cleaning company like All Source a call. We can be reached at (952) 473-3228.
