To
set your mind right to work, the best thing to do is to make your home office
comfortable and prep it for a busy day ahead. You’ll find that having a
clutterless desk and enough space to move around can help increase your
productivity. In fact, an article explaining what clutter can do to your
creativity mentions that “mess creates stress.”
So,
work on maximizing your office space and organizing it to have a perfect desk.
Here are four space-saving hacks for your home office:
1. Clear and Organize your Papers
The best way to start space-saving
is to go through that pile of papers you have building up dust over the months.
It’s time to get rid of unwanted papers and organize the important ones. Put
them in colorful folders with multiple compartments.
Avoid having too many folders by
just using one big one and adding labels or colors to segregate your documents.
2. Add Creative Storage
Go all out for this one! You can
have fun with creative storage, as there are tons of multipurpose storage boxes
you can utilize to help you get rid of a messy desk.
You can also place it on the walls,
underneath your table, or next to your desk—depending on your need and
preference. Experiment with this and find a shelf or even shelves that can
store everything you need at arm’s reach.
3. Maximize all Areas of Space
Be smart with this one by picking
the right furniture to use up your home office space. Avoid using chunky
furniture unless deemed necessary. All you need is furniture that can help you
make progress at work.
You may also opt to have small LED
lamps to create a brighter working space. Floor lamps, however, can take up
unnecessary space.
When it comes to flooring, as it
also affects how your space looks, choose flooring that’s easy to clean and
maintain, especially if you don’t have the time to look after it.
4. Start Clipping
An awesome way to save space is to
clip all the reminders and documents you need daily. Simply clip your to-do
lists together and hang them next to your desk. This way, you don’t only declutter your desk,
but also avoid missing out on important tasks.
5. Organize your pull-out desk drawer
First thing to do is to collect any
obvious trash like old receipts. Bundle all things that are similar such as
business cards, Post-it, and other things that you want to keep. Fit the drawer
with multi-sectioned inserts. You may also use small transparent plastic boxes
to group little office tools and supplies such as paper clips, ballpens,
Sharpies, glue, scotch tapes, etc.
Before
you start working, try out these hacks and see an improvement in your work.
You’ll surely feel
more comfortable now and won’t be stressed out from all the mess.
