And now for my story… From my desk …
I travel a lot, so I don’t always have access to my full office. And, while I do miss having everything set out just the way I like it, I really enjoy finding ways to make any space work for me.
And there are always special things to discover and enjoy while working in new and different spaces. I am currently using a beautiful wooden dining room table as my office in the garden flat I am staying in. It’s big and spacious which I always find gives me breathing room and helps clear my mind to help me work. But, the best part about my current office space is the beautiful view from the window… It looks out onto a quiet garden with green grass, beautiful bushes with flowers, and an old bird feeder. It gives me such a lovely, mini break from work every time I look up from my desk.
My one tip that I’d like to share with you all is this:
Leave your desk clear at the end of the day.
- Put unfinished tasks back in the inbox. Put pens, staplers, paper clips and any other stationery away in your drawers / organizer. Throw out any scrap / junk paper that is no longer needed.
- Close your laptop / turn off your desktop.
- Leave the space clear and open. This way, when you return in the morning, it will welcome you in. It will give you a fresh, new space to start your new day.
I love how much better I feel walking into a clean, tidy office. It helps my mind start the day in the best way, and helps me get going quickly and ultimately helps me be more productive.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this little glimpse of life from my desk and I hope you will try out my organized home office tip!
