Creative chaos, artistic disorder, temporary disorder - no matter what you call it, clutter is always clutter. If you don't know what you've got yourself and can barely see past the paperwork piling up, it's time to take care of your workplace. Join us in saying goodbye to desk clutter.
In the land of chaos
Consistency and regularity are the keys to success
Most of us underestimate clutter - after all, it only takes a moment to get rid of it. So why do we sometimes let a jumble of things control us? Disorder robs us of our good mood and our will to do things. The awareness of long cleaning times makes us postpone them and the vicious circle begins to close. We often only start tidying up when we can't find anything. According to a recent study, as many as 48% of us accumulate unnecessary paperwork. Managing this pile consists primarily of constantly searching through it - we waste up to 150 hours a year on this! In the end, we always lose something anyway, and the most necessary documents disappear into it without a trace. But it doesn't have to be this way!
Get organised
An organised desk means a tidy mind. Clutter hinders concentration and steals time and energy. So let us tell you how to take care of your space so that it becomes a place that is conducive to work and self-realisation.
- Remove everything that is unnecessary
Look at your desk and ask yourself, do you really need all this stuff? Three calendars, twenty pens, and several notebooks. Say goodbye to all unnecessary accessories and gadgets with no regrets and you will gain a lot of extra space. Put the things you rarely use in a drawer, for example. Keep only the items you use every day close at hand.
- Start grouping
Group similar things together. Keep business cards in one place, put contracts in another, and orders, plans or projects in another. This will help you find what you're looking for quickly, saving you a lot of time and nerves.
- Make the most of the space
Don't forget about the space underneath and above your desk. At the bottom, you can set up a basket or bin to hold documents or office accessories that you use less often. Use the wall above to hang a small toolbox or corkboard.
- Put things away
This is where we should start. In the rush of daily chores, putting things away can be a lifesaver. It's the best way to avoid chaos, and it also helps you to stay organised and not waste time looking for things all the time.
- Clean systematically
Don't forget to tidy up every day. Of course, this doesn't mean pedantic washing of the worktop or dusting every hour. It's enough to tidy up at the end of the day by throwing away pens that no longer write and bringing back the empty coffee cup - this will quickly become a habit. This will make starting the next day at work more enjoyable.
Tidy desk, tidy thoughts
It's not a well-known fact that our surroundings affect what goes on in our heads. Constant chaos causes thoughts to run wild and makes us less efficient at work. All this often makes us cranky and feel like nothing is getting done. By making order, we also create a mental space that enables us to concentrate and think freely. Don't believe it? Try it! As well as mental hygiene, you'll also gain a lot of extra time - the eternal problem of searching for pens, a calculator or a stapler will be over.
