The Benefits of a Tidy Workspace Published online on January 23, 2017 By Paul Schokker I’m always on the hunt for relevant info and I loved this - one of the best articles I’ve seen on this topic for a while. Here are a few paragraphs as a taster... Cleaning your workspace often doesn’t make your daily to-do list, other than a quick tidying up at the end of the day, it does have many benefits. Your workflow, your creativity and your health could all suffer from a dirty and less-than-hygienic desk. Here are some things to keep in mind which could prompt you to summon your inner neat freak and keep things clean. Mess Equals StressJust looking at a messy, unkempt workspace first thing in the morning can raise your stress levels. Not only is it unpleasant to look at, but it can also make it hard to find needed items and can slow you down. Why do that to yourself? A neat, organized atmosphere will limit distractions and help you focus on your work, not your clutter. You’ll Look like an Organizational Genius Having a neat, well-organized desk is the easiest way ever to impress your boss and other higher-ups. Think about the image you want to portray in the office – would you rather appear pulled-together and productive, or sloppy and disorganized? A messy desk can harm your professional reputation, which is a great motivator to keep it clean and clutter-free.
Pretty valuable stuff, I’m sure you’ll agree! Why not check out the whole article on http://onlinecareertips.com/2014/02/the-benefits-of-a-tidy-workspace/
