If you want to be a successful and productive professional, then you really need to have an organised office space. If you know where everything in your office is, then it will make your working life much easier and help to increase your efficiency.
However, if you’re like most of us, organizing your office space is a chore you put off time and time again, thinking that it will be too much effort or take too long. Luckily, this is not the case, and organizing your office space can be very simple, especially if you read the tips below:
Desktop organisation
Cleaning up your desktop is, perhaps, the most important aspect of office organisation. The simplest way to do this is to remove any item you have not used in the last six months. Once the clutter’s gone, you can set about removing duplicated items and take away anything that can be stored elsewhere, such as files. This should leave you with a neat and tidy desk.
Filing
The simplest way to organise files is by implementing a colour coding system. By placing related files in the same colour folders, you can easily find what you are looking for. Once in colour coded folders, you should file all documents away in filing cabinets, to keep your office looking clean and spacious.
Spot checking
Every afternoon, before leaving the premises, you should take a quick sweep of the office, ensuring everything is in its rightful place and removing any clutter. This will help you keep on top of your organising.
