Organizing your desk makes you so much more efficient and
productive, which is perfect in January when you may want to improve your
skills! Here are some tips for
organization and staying focused:
·
Clear off the clutter. Of course this has to be your first
step. A clean, mess-free space makes a
world of difference for getting work done, finding important papers and staying
focused in general. No more
distractions!
·
Put items in designated spots, like pens, paper
clips, post-its, whatever. Pick a place
for each (necessary) item and keep
them all where they belong. You can get
cute little dishes and containers to hold the things you need. (Monochromatic, like all shiny black holders
may help keep you more focused, but bright, fun colors may give you more
inspiration!)
·
If you set something that doesn’t belong on your
desk on there temporarily, clear it off the moment you get a chance! Don’t wait just because you don’t feel like
putting things away. The longer you
leave it there, the more likely you’ll let things start piling up and get out
of control. And there goes your
workspace and focus.
·
Finally, keep your desk the area where you
work/study. Avoid eating, watching
videos, painting your nails, etc. there.
Your desk should be a place where you get work done and aren’t even
tempted by distractions.
