I’m willing to bet that you have more than enough paperwork to fill that room though. Maybe you have more than just a desk – if you’re a senior member of staff, you may have an office. Simply store the drawers underneath one corner of your desk and you’ll have easy access to whatever you’ve got stored in there – just don’t forget about that banana – moldy fruit tends to leave an unpleasant odor. A set of desk drawers ca give you this space, without taking up much room. If this sounds familiar, you’re likely to need a bit more space to store your lunch, other snacks, gym bag, whatever. Many office workers see their desk as a second home – mainly because they spend so much of their day sat at it. Plus, and I probably shouldn’t be letting you in on this, the bottom tray is also great for stashing a few sweets – I like a pick me up every now and again. And then once I’m finished working on those items, I make the decision to either shred or throw away. I tend to put the important stuff in the bottom tray, away from view, and leave the items I’m currently working on in the top tray.
Having a desk tidy is great – I have a couple of trays, allowing me to separate paper or notepads in whichever way I please. If you don’t need it, throw it away – but maybe check first that it’s not confidential data (if it is, you should shred this, rather than put it straight into the bin). So my advice to you is to set aside some time (maybe on a Friday afternoon) and properly go through everything on your desk. So many people make this mistake, and allow things to pile up – it’s no wonder we’re all so stressed all the time. But did I make the effort to do anything about it? Of course I didn’t – I was too busy getting on with my job. Sure enough, a few weeks in, mine was equally as untidy. Everyone else’s desk was covered in paper, cuddly toys, photos of loved ones, tissues, and all other manner of paraphernalia. A quick look around told me that this probably wouldn’t be the case for very long.
When I first started my job, I was amazed at how much space there was on my desk. So here are some tips for office organization – so you can finally cut the clutter once and for all. This can apply to your personal or your working life.įor the purposes of this blog however, I’m going to focus on working life. Well, it’s quite simple – the more cluttered the space around you is, the more you have to think (or worry) about. We’ve all heard the saying, “a clear space, a clear mind”.
