Are you looking to improve your workspace<\/a> at the office or in your home office? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you want some practical tips to make the organization process go a bit smoother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you need help organizing a desk<\/a> at work or one at home, one thing remains the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You want to make the most out of your space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that with a few simple tweaks, you can make your workspace more comfortable, organized, and conducive to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, you’ll find several ideas to help you make the most out your workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do You Use Your Desk For?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, we mostly use our desks for computer work. And before that, you could find typewriters and pen and paper on a desk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter which tools you use, the idea in any work space is to have a space dedicated to your work routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you use a computer, film yourself using a smartphone, participate in virtual meetings, or write in your work notebook<\/a>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decide what the main function or functions of your desk will be. The next step is to organize items around those functions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, if you mainly use your desk for computer work, you’d probably want to have your computer front and center of your desk, accompanied by your computer keyboard and mouse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do some writing in a notebook and use a paper planner, you can leave a space on one side of your desk for these office supply<\/a> items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are some ways you can make your desk arrangements more comfortable for your needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making Your Desk More Comfortable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fumbling with your phone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is your phone within reach or do you have to climb over items to find it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you prefer speaking with\/holding the earpiece on your left side or right side? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are left-handed and like holding the phone on your left side, it doesn\u2019t make sense to have the phone on the right side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s under your desk?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is there something that pokes your foot or leg every time you slide your leg under the desk? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could be a waste basket, recycling bin, empty boxes, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear out the offending items so you have more space for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

distracted by miscellaneous items at your desk?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Move or remove items from a nearby bulletin board so you’re not constantly distracted while you work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter information into your contacts, address book, notebook, app, or other software program for safekeeping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make the Most of Items on Your desk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Corral supplies.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make easy access to frequently used office supplies.<\/a> This means no reaching over, under, through or sifting through items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corral like items such as: scissors, tape, stapler and staples, calculator, push pins, binder clips, ruler, pencil, pens, hole puncher, letter opener. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can store these items on top of your desk or in a drawer<\/a>. Make use of any existing office supply storage containers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t have dedicated containers, consider using empty vessels like mugs or small boxes to contain items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can always upgrade to office supply or other storage containers as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work in desk areas.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Planning to organize your desk<\/a>? Work one section at a time so you don\u2019t become completely overwhelmed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll be able to see fast results in one space. This is a more effective approach rather than simply turning your entire desk completely upside down and trying to get everything sorted out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider tidying up your desk area using the following desk areas: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
