Get an Energy Boost From Decluttering

Is your workspace cluttered and you can’t focus? If you speak with coworkers who finally took the declutter plunge, most will tell you they experienced renewed energy, more excitement about coming to work, more creativity, and a mental release with an increased desire to engage with the work culture. If you are doubtful, try a decluttering experiment and see how it works for you!

First take a picture of your workspace as a “before picture”.  If it is overwhelming to declutter all your space at one time, take it in steps. Take an area of your workspace and simplify any decorations you have, straighten and line up folders by a method that will allow you to access the subject matter quickly. Put away all unnecessary items that do not contribute to the work projects you are on.

You may find that you have more focus with reduced visual distractions and your items organized.  You may feel a sense of order that frees your mind for creativity and better control over your work accomplishments.

Take an “after picture” when you are done and compare how you feel looking at both photos. Take 5 minutes each day to organize and cleanup workspace at the end of your day.  You may find you will be free of distractions and the ambiance is more relaxed feeling leading you to be more productive and less stressed.
