Tidy Up Tuesday

Our home office desk is where productivity should thrive! Too often, it turns into a clutter catch-all. The good news? You don’t need a full makeover to feel more in control. A few smart tweaks can bring calm and order back to your workspace.

Try This 30-Minute Desk Refresh:

  1. Clear Everything Off
    Start fresh. Remove everything from your desk, even the “essentials.” Wipe it down and take a breath.

  2. Sort by Function
    Group items: tech gear, stationery, papers, personal items. Ask yourself: Do I actually use this every day?

  3. Designate Zones
    Create mini zones: one for work (laptop, notepad), one for tools (pens, charger), and one for inspiration (photos, plants, etc.).

  4. Contain the Clutter
    Use drawer dividers, a desktop organizer, or small trays to corral loose items. Cable clips can help tame unruly cords.

  5. Keep It Minimal
    Only return the things you need and love. Everything else? File it, store it, or let it go.

Bonus Tip:

End your workday by resetting your desk. It takes two minutes, and tomorrow’s you will thank you.

A tidy desk isn’t just nice to look at, it makes space for clearer thinking and smoother days. Try it today and feel the difference!
