Now that the weather is turning and we are heading into ‘back to work’ and ‘back to school’ mode, it’s a good time to get desk and workspaces in order.
There’s a lot of be said about working smarter versus working harder and good organization systems that support that allow you to keep your supplies close but your surfaces clear.
Here are 4 organizing tools to inspire you:
- Adding a monitor stand with a drawer allows you to get your monitor to the right height relieving body strain and makes the most of the usused space under your monitor
- Baskets are a great place to store often-needed items altogether but contained and close at hand
- For extra storage add a utility cart or a 3 tiered organizer beside the desk
- Make the most of your vertical space with a pegboard or floating shelves
By reducing visual distractions and cognitive overload you optimize productivity, focus and calm ensuring you are truly setting yourself up for success.
