Use One Inbox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your office uses paper notes, make sure you have one inbox tray on your desk. Ask your team to place all the notes and phone messages there. This way, papers won\u2019t remain scattered all over your work station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add little tabs for each part of the tray. You might have a few levels, where one will state future tasks, while the other is for messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a goal to clear out your inbox every day. You will leave feeling refreshed and accomplished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean Up Your Workstation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next, you\u2019ll want to get rid of extra clutter and junk on your desk. You don\u2019t need a ton of pens or notebooks out on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put them away in a side drawer. Only keep the essentials on your desk, like your computer and phone. Having a clear desk will help you stay productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove Extra Posters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes people can have too much hanging on their walls. This can create a sense of clutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove any reference notes or work posters. You can transfer the information to your computer. Try to avoid a bulletin board because this can become cluttered with notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organize Your Computer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a ton of unnecessary icons on your computer? First, clear off any items you don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you organize work documents? If you don’t, it makes it difficult to retrieve the original piece. Sort your documents into various e-files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donate Extra Office Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a few hole punchers and staplers, make sure you add them to the donation box. You want to get rid of duplicates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give away extra pens if you have too many. If you don\u2019t use a scanner or fax machine, pass it on to someone who does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear out Garbage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have a system for garbage removal at your work. You don\u2019t want to have boxes or bags piling up in the staff room. Instead, make sure you know when to put it on the curb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could also look into getting a dumpster. You may end up with larger items that you don\u2019t know where to put. An easy way to clear out your space is by throwing these bulkier items into your dumpster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can pick out a larger dumpster to accommodate your needs. Learn more about a dumpster rental for homes and businesses<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
