There are usually three times every year when I like suggest you clean your office especially every surface in your office. Those are:
- The beginning of the New Year
- After taxes
- Back-to-School
So it’s time clean!
I guarantee that when your office is clean and decluttered, you will not only enjoy spending time there, but you will probably be more productive because you can find what you want and won’t waste time moving piles around or searching through all the stuff in your drawers.
Here are steps to get you started:
Declutter- Before you can clean your office space, you must first get rid of the clutter on all the surfaces and in the cabinets and drawers. This might seem overwhelming, but it will be a lot easier once you take the first step to get started. Weed out your filing cabinets to make room for all those piles on your desk, clean out your Inbox, delete all those voice message, coral your cord clutter, and purge/donate anything you don’t need, use, love, or want.
Clean-Dust, vacuum, clean the windows and throw out the trash.
Maintain- Once you have decluttered and cleaned your space, keep your office in shape by creating a daily, weekly, and/or monthly maintenance plan.
You might be surprised how these three simple steps can totally change the look, feel, and even function of your office space.
