Declutter your workstation for a fun time at work
We go to work everyday, sit at our desks for hours, yet rarely plan the space. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a cabin, a cubicle or a plain desk. Your space should excite you at the same time be convenient, and help you to function better at the workplace. It should also make routine tasks easy, help you multi-task and achieve more out of your day. To plan your work station, here are some simple yet fun ideas.
Use pen stands like these to segregate your stationary
- If you are right-handed, realise that the right of your desk should be clean. You know why? ‘Coz that’s the space you’re gonna need to keep papers and other things as it’s the most convenient thing. P.S. Clear it before you leave work at the end of the day or in the morning when you begin work.
- Keep trays for segregation based on priority and movement, tray for pending tasks and work in progress. This will help you reduce procrastination.
- Have a segregated pen stand with a minimum of four partitions to separate your stationary. First for pencils, second for coloured pens and markers, a third for staplers and rulers and fourth for pens in standard colours of blue and black. This will ensure you don’t run out of stationary and help you communicate right.
- Add colour to the desk with a colourful pen stand and paper weight. Love your work desk and you’ll be able to work better.
- Label the drawers at the work station as Important, Pending, Storage and Personal. With the labels in place, you won’t end up opening the wrong drawer multiple times.
- Make some space on the left for headphones, a coffee mug, your cellphone or a tablet.
- Keep your pen stand out of reach from a passage or colleagues as this may become a source of distraction for you in trying to keep your desk organised.
- Keep a notepad and diary always handy on the right side of your desk for the right-handed, and on the left side for a left-handed user.
- Keep your pin-up board neat and uncluttered. Put up photos of your friends and family, stuff that you picked up from your travels et al to have a fun time at work.
- I believe choose a job that you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life! 🙂
