Office Organization and Productivity Increase

One of the most beautiful seasons of the year is the one we are going through right now, spring! Sunny days, flowers blooming everywhere, perfect conditions to improve our mood and motivate ourselves to be more productive.

There is no better time of year to have an organized and clean office, as well as our closet, kitchen or bedroom. With the average person spending around 40 hours a week working, we understand that organizing the office is a great start to a refresh!

So whether your office is in a building room, a shared workspace, or your own home, here are 5 top tips to transform your workspace from an organized mess into a productivity haven.

1. Tidy up your desktop
First of all, clear your desk of any items that are not useful! This can include the coffee mug from the day before, old receipts, unnecessary post-it notes and photocopies, which we never throw away but always recycle! And let's not forget, this snack that is hidden in the bottom drawer and we keep it with great care so that it doesn't fall into the hands of the "treat" of work or family. Finally take the break you deserve and enjoy it!

It's important to spend a few minutes cleaning your desk at the end of your shift every Friday so you can start Monday with a clear mind into the new week! This also applies to your computer desktop, find a beautiful wallpaper image that will not distract you, remove unnecessary icons and reorganize all necessary files.

2. Get rid of the chaos of your mailbox
Take a few hours to clear out your inbox. Use folders to organize conversations, archive emails you've answered, and reply to what's still unanswered. Don't be afraid to use the "trash bin" for emails you don't need, as well as the unsubscribe button!

3. Organize your drawer properly
Your drawers should stop being a place to store piled up documents and unused stationery, but you need to see them as a project management tool! Invest in labeled folders and categorize your documents appropriately to make them easier to find as well. Use storage boxes to collect stationery items by category and know where to turn at a critical moment. You will see immediate results in your productivity levels, but also in your time management!

4. Become digitally savvy
Trust applications suitable for organizing and recording notes, tasks and contacts, such as Google Drive, saving them all on your personal computer without losing good ideas or getting distracted from your tasks!

And if you remain a stationary lover, you should visit your nearest MINISO store, with the promise of keeping your new office organized!

5. Go Green
Invest in low-maintenance plants that will clean the air, brighten your office space and create a pleasant atmosphere. Spider plants (Chlorophyto), Snake plants (Dracina), Lilies, Aloe vera, etc. they are very easy to keep indoors and are very good at absorbing toxins from the air. You can also decorate your desk with scented candles to make you feel relaxed and calm while working and help you work more efficiently.

These simple, yet useful ideas can help you keep your office clean all year round. Now you will have more time and energy to devote to other important tasks!
