Clearing your workspace until it works for you again
1 h Calm
A cluttered desk quietly drains your energy. In an hour, you can turn it into a place where you think clearly again.
A tidy workspace has a real effect on your mind. Where chaos distracts, order brings calm and focus. Start by throwing things away: old papers, broken pens, stuff you haven't touched in months. Keeping the bin within reach makes it go naturally faster.
Next, sort your documents by type and importance, in clearly labelled folders so you can always find what you need straight away. A clean cloth and some cleaner will freshen up your desk, which not only looks great but also removes dust and germs. Finally, arrange everything so that the things you use most are within reach. Add something personal and you'll actually enjoy sitting at your desk again.
Throw away anything on your desk you don't need: old documents, broken pens, things you no longer use. Keep the bin close by.
Sort your documents by type and importance, bundle related items into folders, and label each folder clearly.
Clean your desk and workspace with a cloth and cleaner, good for visibility and for keeping dust and germs at bay.
Set up your workspace practically: frequently used items within reach, the rest out of the way. Add something personal.
