Office Organization Ideas to Increase Productivity

An organized office can mean more productivity, extra motivation, and less misplaced documents for your business. Would you believe us if we told you that you could make this happen by spending only a few minutes each week?

Here are some weekly habits you can adopt to maintain an organized office for everyone:

• Take a few minutes each week to reorganize your desk. This is your time to throw away those papers you no longer need and to consolidate some of your notes and documents. Take a quick inventory of the items at your desk. What can you live without? Remember: clutter is your worst enemy.
• Organization isn’t limited to just physical items; after you finish organizing your desk, move on to your digital files. Clean up your desktop, empty your trash, and even delete your emails! No one likes the overflowing inbox.
• Get with a few people on your team and ensure any common areas in your office are organized. Remember: these spaces belong to everyone, so make sure they’re clean, organized, and ready to be used.
• Appoint an organization captain. Choose a member of your team to oversee the organization of your office and to ensure everyone is doing their part in making it a place everyone wants to work in. This role can change regularly, but it should be someone who is willing to do a little extra organizing and plenty of delegating.
