Clean Your Work Space

Having a clean desk in the office have a lot of benefits. Firstly, you are able to focus on the task at hand. You become more organized and more productive. Some studies suggest that as much as 15% of your workweek can be consumed with a messy desk, either by being distracted by things that are in sight or by having to look for things.
But maintaining a clean desk can be a struggle for most of us. Therefore, I have compile a list of tips that will improve the cleanliness of your desk.
1) Have an in- out box
This technique alone will have a tremendous impact on your work flow and the cleanliness of your desk. Make a point to have all new documents in the in-box and remain there until you work on it.
2) Handle each document only once
A major source of time waster is to start on a document without finishing it. Make it a point to start and finish the task on the document and send it to your outbox, filing or delegated area.
3) Clean your desk everyday
Clean your desk every day before you leave office. This will keep the maintenance lower than if you do it once a week or a month. Also you will be happy to see a clean desk every morning when you arrive to work.
Remember that a clean desk will result in a better day for you which would translate to a more productive you.
