It is something more: something that allows you to work with the highest productivity; something that brings you an incredible sense of satisfaction from your work; something that makes you feel cozy and inspires you to perform your duties at the highest level.

Today we are going to share with you seven tips on how to organize your workplace for maximum productivity and ake your perfect office.

A notebook and a pen

How often do you feel overwhelmed by the overabundance of information? How often do you forget to note down essential information? One of the most important steps towards being productive is an organized system incorporating a diary planner.

You need to learn how to write important information down, liberating your head from the superfluous thoughts. First, this will help you to sleep well because you will be able to stay in a relaxed state of mind while remaining confident that everything necessary was noted and you will not forget to do anything important in the weeks to come.

Desk Trays: “Incoming” and “Outgoing”

Keep two trays on your desk. You can’t even imagine how they will benefit your productivity.

Tray A – “Incoming.”

Put all the incoming documents into that tray: paper emails, invoices, business cards, receipts – everything that accumulates during the day and requires further action.

Tray B – “Outgoing.”

Put into this tray everything that needs to be transferred, delegated, or sent. For instance: letters to be posted and documents for colleagues.

Desktop trays should always be empty when you start your new working day because clutter can lead to lower levels of productivity, inefficiency, and confusion. It’s recommended that you should review your trays every day and ensure they are clear at the end of the day.
