Organizing\u00a0home office clutter is a challenge for most of us. But an organized workspace simply makes life easier, whether it\u2019s at your job or in your home.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, a tidy home office will improve your productivity.<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal estimates that office workers waste an average of 40% of their workday because of poor organizational habits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A clean desk and office also reflects positively on your work ethic and organizational skills.<\/p>\n

Get rid of that clutter both at work and in your home office<\/a> and you\u2019ll notice your work productivity increase in no time.<\/p>\n

\"Eliminate<\/a><\/p>\n

Use your drawers for filing<\/h3>\n

Cramming papers and office supplies into your desk drawers might keep your desk clean, but it can make bills or documents hard to find.<\/p>\n

Consider using one or more of your office drawers for labelled file folder storage. Finding that important document will be much easier.<\/p>\n

Digitize files<\/h3>\n

When all that piled up office paperwork becomes too much, scan your documents and organize them digitally instead.<\/p>\n

You can always print out a hard copy if needed and that decrease in clutter will boost your productivity.<\/p>\n

Stop making piles<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s convenient to simply pile documents and folders on top of each other in order to minimize desk clutter.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t an effective way to manage clutter or stay productive \u2013 \u00a0you\u2019ll just spend more time organizing in the future.<\/p>\n

Rather than putting them into piles, put office papers away properly after you\u2019re done using them.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget about your email<\/h3>\n

Email management is also an important part of office organization. A cluttered email account can decrease productivity and make it difficult to find important messages.<\/p>\n

Create email subfolders and spend a little time each day putting your emails into the correct one. Better yet, automate the process using email rules<\/a> to keep your inbox organized.<\/p>\n

\"custom<\/a><\/p>\n

Keep frequently used items nearby<\/h3>\n

Some office supplies are used every day, but others are only required every few months. Keep frequently used materials close by, such as in your desk drawers.<\/p>\n

This ensures you won\u2019t waste time each day sorting through clutter to gather the supplies you need.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let home office clutter decrease your productivity. Organize the mess and then take the time to maintain your tidy space.<\/p>\n

Solutions can be as easy as making better use of your existing office setup or updating your space with an improved office storage system.<\/p>\n
