Organise Your Home Office Day: 3 Ways to Boost Your Productivity

Organise Your Home Office Day on 8th March is the perfect reminder to give your workspace a spring clean - here's how to do it.

If you're one of the over four million Brits who work from home, your home office is probably your most important work tool. A home office is a great opportunity to make your workspace suit you - but all too often, the clutter can pile up and your productivity can plummet. Here are our tips for this Organise Your Home Office Day.

1. Get Rid of What You Don't Need.

Over time, every home office accumulates stuff. You know what we mean. Pens that don't work, empty envelopes, houseplants barely clinging to life... Clutter doesn't just get in the way; it can also cause stress and anxiety - the last thing you need in a work environment. Bin, shred, and recycle everything you don't need. 

2. Re-Organise Your Space.

Take a look at the layout of your home office. Is it the most efficient way to organise your space - or have you just put your furniture where it fits? Put the items you use most in easy-to-reach areas, like a nearby drawer or shelf, and demote the things you don't use as much to further reaches of the room.

If you're not sure where to start, talk to us. At Mirror Image, we're experts at making the most of every space. Our fitted office furniture can maximise your home office's potential, providing a bespoke practical solution to all your needs.

3. Get Folders, Ringbinders, Trays - Everything You Need to Keep Your Desk Tidy.

Organising your home office is a waste of time unless you can keep it tidy. If you always have loose papers cluttering up your desk, invest in a filing cabinet, box file or in tray to put everything important in - and a waste paper basket for all the rubbish. Buy a pen pot for your desk (or just use a mug) to keep all your loose pens and pencils within easy reach. It might be Organise Your Home Office Day, but you want a clutter-free home office all year round!
