How to Organize Your Workspace

“Whether you're returning to the office, working from home full time, or a combination of both, maintaining a tidy work environment can have a positive impact on productivity, stress levels, and happiness at work. The impact can be so great that some companies even have mandatory policies for neatly arranging work desks. Here are our top tips on how to organize your desk and workspace.

Organize your cables
Want to know how to organize desk cables? Tidy cables will help keep all your chargers in place, instead of letting them trail behind a desk or tied together. If one of your cables is too long, you can roll it up and secure it with a velcro tie. Using a wireless keyboard and mouse will reduce the number of cables you have to use.

Have a trash can next to your desk
We all know how easy it is to leave trash on your desk with the thought of moving it to the trash later. Placing a trash can next to your desk means you will most likely throw it away. Be sure to empty it before it starts to overflow!
Leave your desk as you wish the next day
A quick tidy up before you finish for the day means that when you're ready to start again the next day, you'll have a clean, clear desk and can get straight to work. After all, no one wants to start the day by washing yesterday's coffee cup!

Tidy up your space
Have you ever heard the saying 'clutter attracts chaos'? If something is already messy, you will likely add more items that will create a bigger mess, which can be distracting when you are trying to work. The simpler your desk, the less likely you are to add more items that will reduce your work space. A small desk organizer can provide a tidy space for items you need to access at all times such as pens, sticky notes, and paper clips.
Dedicate a drawer to distracting gadgets
If you're easily distracted by your smartphone or watch, have a special place to keep it while you work to keep you focused. Allow yourself to take it out only when you're on a break from work and put it back in as soon as you have to go back to work.
Make your work space positive and personal
Reducing desk clutter doesn't mean eliminating all the items that make you feel good. A framed photo or inspirational quote can help you stay motivated if you're having a tough day.
