This past weekend, it became apparent to me that I need to spend a bit of time organizing my office environment; it is so easy to let clutter build up!
Here are some timely tips for organizing your office space from Gina Trapani / Harvard Business
Many of us spend most of our waking hours in cubicles or offices. It's critical to make those spaces comfortable and conducive to productivity. Here are four tips to design a space that helps, not hinders, your ability to get work done.
1. Cut the clutter. Get rid of the papers, extra hole-punch, books, and tchotchkes. Be ruthless, throwing away the things you really don't need and filing away the things you might need later.
2. Keep frequent-use items close. If you don't use your stapler every day, you don't need it front and center. Reorganize so commonly used items are within reach and less-used items aren't taking up valuable real estate.
3. Put related items together. Group items by task. Store your stamps with the envelopes and your file folders near the file cabinet.Adjust as needed. After your initial reorganization, pay attention to recurring tasks that may require adjustments. If you start using your stapler daily, move it closer.
Thanks Gina... Perfect timing!
