Keep your overview with a clean desk

On the perfect work day, your desk is completely structured and you know exactly what your colleagues expect of you. In reality, this is not how it works. Most of the time, your desk is filled with a bunch of papers and your colleagues stand at your desk with 100 different questions. This normally means chaos!

Can you handle chaos? If your desk is filled with paper, post-its, or other documents, you lose your overview quite quickly. But your desk has to be a place where you feel yourself comfortable. A clean desk contributes to such a positive mood!

Why a clean desk?

A clean desk contributes to a more professional look for the organization that you are working at and, besides that, you get less distracted at a structured desk. You’ll find what you’re looking for more quickly and a clean desk provides you of less stress and a more restless mind. This way, you can keep an eye on your work and you can start your work day with a positive mood every day!

Cleaning is worth it!

Do not doubt any longer and start cleaning your desk! Start looking through the endless bunches of paper and select which papers need to be kept or can be removed. Store the important papers in practical storage facilities or files, and add a label to these, so you can find them quite easily. Store your stapler and perforator in your desk drawer set and check which other items are useless on your desk. Choose for any practical desk accessories (and use them!) to give your desk a nice and organised look.

That saves time!

I know… it sounds much easier than it is. You think you don’t have time to clean your desk. You almost don’t have enough time to get your work done at all! There are more than a thousand excuses to avoid cleaning your desk. But believe me, it is really worth it! Spend just one hour and you get a lot of work done! Eventually it saves you time, because you don’t have to search for any documents anymore. You can use the spared time to work on more important cases. Just go for it!
