Many people tend to claim that they are comfortable with their own clutter.
However, studies show that living in cluttered spaces can have negative effects on a person’s mental health as well as their physical health.
We can only imagine the impact on productivity when someone has to work in a cluttered office.
So create fewer distractions by following this easy-to-follow guide, and unleash your inner Marie Kondo!

1. Reduce the number of items in your office

One of the easiest ways to declutter your office is to reduce the number of items you own and create a minimalist office space. You may think you have all these items for a reason, but take a close look at all the things that populate your desk. You’ll find that you have a lot of things that you don’t use regularly. One way to declutter your workspace is to empty your desk completely and place only the items you currently need, so that your attention is focused solely on the project or task you’re working on. Find another place for the rest of your items to reduce distractions on your desk, or get rid of them altogether if you no longer have any use for them.

2. From paper to digital

If you’re the kind of person who has sticky notes, calendars and paper trails all over your desk, you should consider digitizing your tasks. After all, it’s highly likely that 90% of the clutter on your desk is due to the simple fact that you’re using physical copies rather than digital ones. Not only is this detrimental to the organization of your office, but it’s also very daunting to walk into your workspace and be confronted with the millions of tasks you have to complete. Scanning with the help of a simple application will de-clutter your desk and give you peace of mind.

3. Classification and labeling

If you don’t already have a storage binder, now’s the time to get one. Storage binders are one of the most effective ways of de-cluttering your office, because not only can they hold a large quantity of documents without taking up too much room, but they also make it easier to organize your files through labeling and alphabetizing. Never again will you have to waste thirty minutes of your day looking for a document you should have filed last month!

4. Create an ergonomic space

When it comes to de-cluttering your office space, creating an ergonomic office space is the best way to go. Indeed, ergonomic furniture and accessories are designed to make the most of the space you have available, and to enable you to adopt correct posture throughout the day. Here are some of the most useful ergonomic accessories for decluttering your space:

Perfix silver-gray double screen mount

Display stand

Screen mounts are useful because they free up space on your desk where your monitor used to be, and they ensure that your computer is at the right height so you don’t constantly have to twist your neck or strain your eyes!

Keyboard stand

Just like monitor stands, keyboard stands will help you de-clutter your desk and free up desk space. The great thing about keyboard stands is that they can also help you maintain good posture by ensuring that you don’t put too much pressure on your shoulders and wrists.

Cable management tray

Cabling management trays are a great solution for keeping things clean, both above and below your desk. The cleaner your environment, the more productive you’ll be, and the better your mental health will be. After all, what you present on the outside is a projection of what you have on the inside.
