The average employee loses an hour a day due to disorganization of their workspace i.e. six weeks a year. Here are five tips to organize your workspace for maximum productivity. Most Americans believe clutter has a negative impact on their lives and work, and damages their productivity.
Adopt a clean-desk policy
A set of corporate guidelines and rules regarding how employees’ working space should look like after they leave for the day
- Enforces a CDP, which boosts corporate productivity, reduces time and cost wastage associated with finding, keeping, and safeguarding assets, and improves creativity
Get yourself a sit-stand ergonomic desk
This will help you stand and complete urgent, closed-ended tasks such as making a call while typing at the same time.
- The screen height of your monitor matters most so you are able to keep our neck straight.
Color yourself productive
Your desk is really the cockpit, the design of which has a cascading effect on a number of factors including better time and energy management, turnaround of tasks, job satisfaction, and innovation.
- Revisit your desk organization today and watch your productivity better consequently
Create a dedicated space for the incoming things
Create a catch-it space for all kinds of incoming items, preferably near the entrance of your office/cubicle so junk doesn’t get a chance to come anywhere near the working desks.
- Remember to clear it out regularly.
Keep personal knick-knacks to a minimum
Too much of personal stuff on your desk can create clutter, bringing down your productivity
- Maintain work-life balance by not working beyond office hours regularly and not putting things on the desk that are out of place.
