BellaOnline Forums Career Small Office/Home Office Spring Cleaning Time!

It's spring and the outdoors beckons me all day long! So, I work fast and furiously and okay, messily!

Here's how to get your desk back in order quicky - and keep it that way!

Clear your Desk and Increase your Productivity

Deb great ideas, i use my kitchen table as my place, it has my lap top n all my paper work among all kinda stuff. no one eats at the kitchen table so it does get over loaded with my stuff. this morning i took every thing off it, polished the table, and reloaded it with my stuff, right now it looks neat, but i have to ask myself for how long!

LOL, Rosie! That's why I recommend the daily "put-away". If I take a few minutes at the end of the day to put stuff up, it works so much better than waiting until it's piled up.

I developed this habit when working in an office, too. I would go ask people for something & they'd take forever digging through piles and it just annoyed me and made them look really inefficient!

So, I'd clean up at the end of the day. That way, the stuff was never more than "today's" work, and I could find it quickly. Now, during the day, I can spread out a bunch of stuff, but every morning, it's a fresh start!
