Cleaning up your workspace (this a title)
According to research when our surroundings are untidy our minds are untidy. This will cause an underlying measure of stress that may in the end burst to the top when something finally pushes us over the edge.

The same may be said of our workspace. Attempting to work when there are :
- Files,
- Folders,
- And office provisions.
Strewn all over the surface of your desk will just cause us to become bothered. Rather than staying late every night at work take a Saturday or Sunday to come in after hours. Bring with you some supplies that will assist you to organize everything that on your desk.

Utilize Space

Some of us have the luxury of working in a cozy office while others of us are offered only a cubicle. No matter what your work area looks like you need to have enough space that is able to handle the tasks that you are given. Use what shelves you have to store things. If you do not have enough shelving than purchase some stand up plastic dividers. These are perfect for holding file folders and other papers. Label each plastic file divider for all kinds of paperwork that you deal with.

Out Of The Way

Any office supplies like your stapler or pens and pencils must be kept in drawers or in a neat cup off to the side. You don’t need to have these small items always in your way while you are working. Most people will frequently utilize their computers anyway so you will not need a pen that often.

Ensure that you personalize your office space. Utilize Velcro dots to put up pictures of your family or inspirational mini posters and jokes. This will give you a smile when you are having a genuinely difficult day.

Using dividers and Velcro Dots is a great way to organize it all.
