Working from home and staying organized is a challenge many of us face.
We hear from many people each week with frustrations about their home office:
My office is a dumping ground. I moved into my new house 4 years ago and there are still unpacked boxes in my office space. Keely
We just moved and my home office is a crazy maze of boxes half opened! TCC
My home office has become a dumping spot for everything that doesn’t have a home elsewhere in our house. I am ready to grab control of the space and improve my productivity by having a space that makes sense for my business! Mandy
We downsized to our retirement home recently and I left a home with a “real” office and now set up my office in a loft. I’m still working with a home business so it’s a mess and I’m very disorganized. Connie
I can’t see my desk under the mountains of papers. I have a filing system but have not used it in ages, plus I think I save way too much paper. I’ve got to get back on track. Mary
We just repurposed rooms and I now have a large home office but it is also shared with storage space, I need help organizing and separating the two! Betsy
I need help on organising the piles of paper I have lying around on every spare space and also trying to make sure I have all bills and pay on time rather than missing the payment date. Debbie
Why Clutter Can Affect Your Productivity
Clutter Gives You an Excuse to Procrastinate
A messy environment can provide many distractions & you lose concentration.
The Search Through Clutter is a Time Waster
If you have a place for all of your essential business items then you won’t waste spend 10 minutes looking for the stapler or the calculator.
Clutter Affects Your Mental State
Feeling boxed in or having a messy desk psychologically alters your mindset. If you’re office space is clear and uncluttered it gives you a better sense of freedom and organization to get on with the task at hand.
