7 tips for a tidy desk
- Start with a clear desk: Clear everything off your desk and make a fresh start. This will give you a fresh base to work from.
- Sort your stuff: Divide all your stuff into categories, such as pens , papers, notebooks , etc. This will help you get organized and decide what to keep, throw away, or put away.
- Minimize: Be critical about what you really need on your desk. Try to get rid of unnecessary items or store them in drawers or organizers.
- Use storage solutions: Invest in handy (and pretty ;-)) storage solutions such as drawers, bins, baskets and organizers to keep your things tidy. Think of a pen tray , a letter tray for incoming and outgoing mail , and drawer dividers for papers .
- Take advantage of vertical space: Hang shelves or wall organizers above your desk to create extra storage space for books, folders, and decorative items.
- Give everything a fixed place: Assign each category of items a fixed place on your desk or in your storage solutions. That way you always know where to find something and you avoid clutter.
- Clean up regularly: Take time daily or weekly to clean up your desk and put everything back in its place. This will help you keep the clutter under control and prevent it from becoming chaotic again.
