A FUNCTIONAL OFFICE CAN INCREASE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY

Did you know that the average person loses about one hour of productivity each day due to a disorganized work area? By keeping your desk neat and implementing a few organizational systems, you’ll work more seamlessly and create the right mindset to tackle your day.

START WITH YOUR DESK LAYOUT

* Besides keeping your desk free of clutter, there are ways you can design it to enhance your efficiency.

* Ensure your monitor is straight in front of you, at eye level.

* Keep frequently used items (like your phone) on your dominant side, allowing enough space to attend to paperwork.

* Limit the number of office supplies on your desk to the ones you use every day.

* File away anything you’re not currently working on.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS


Setting up the right systems will make finding what you need easy:



  • Desk accessories: Use simple desk accessories for everyday items like pens, paperclips or sticky notes.

  • Drawers/cabinets: Store items used less often out of sight in cabinets or drawers.

  • Vertical files: File paperwork vertically, rather than in piles, to avoid overlooking anything out of view.

  • Calendar: Hang a calendar where you can visually track your deadlines — dry eraser boards work great!

  • Shelving: Keep books, magazines or other reference materials on shelves; complement them with houseplants or other decorative accents.

  • Command center: Designate a space for your printer, charging station or in/out boxes, and make this space the command center of your operations.


As a rule of thumb, store like items together — common categories could include writing tools, paper/notepads, labels/files or mailing essentials. Knowing where to find what you need quickly can save valuable time and keep your mind on the task at hand.

Window treatments help with a home’s energy efficiency by providing insulation, controlling solar heat gain, and by using natural light to reduce the use of electric light (called daylighting), which saves energy. Here’s a look at each—and how they help create your comfort zone. Providing insulation—winter/cool climates In winter, or if you live in a cool climate, window treatments help insulate at the window, preventing heat from escaping and keeping a room warmer. Open your window treatments during the day so that free solar heat from direct sunlight will warm your home.
