Go Minimalist and Create a Happy Workspace Do you need all those papers on your desk? Perhaps, if you sit down and think about simplifying work processes, you can get rid of those clutter and come up with a clean desk (and a clear mind, too!). And perhaps, you need to rethink your office layout to get more work done. Think about it. You can do more with less. All you need is premium quality office furniture for your computer and mouse and a waste basket for your candy and snack wrappers (or slowly, you can get rid of the latter). Minimalism is all about focusing on the essentials. That means getting rid of excesses so life will be more fulfilling and happy. Office workspaces can be a happy area without the clutter.Here are tips to make you and your workspace happier: Reassess your paper needs Do you really need things to be printed out so you can read them thoroughly? Or are you still using the fax machine? What about credit card, phone, electric and water bills—are these still being mailed by post to you? The computer in front of you is an amazing piece of invention you should be maximising so:
Stop receiving fax documents Use your browser’s bookmark tool to keep favourite references so you don’t print them Go for e-bills Have documents emailed to you Unsubscribe from post mailed catalogues and product brochures Email inter-memos and circulars instead of using paper
Clear, clear, clear and simplify Clear the desk. A happy desk only has a computer, one inbox tray, your phone and an inspiration (maybe a photo of a loved one). With these, you’re good to go. No fuss. Clear tools. Depending on your line of work, you can get rid of these tools to make your work area clutter-free: many pens, fax machine, scanner. Clear drawers. Work on one drawer at a time. Take out all the contents and retain only what’s necessary. Have a “drawer zoning” so it looks pretty when you open it and make sure you place items back to where they belong right after use.
Simplify filing. Keeping paper copies of files are unnecessary. Keep them on your computer with a back up file or online drive so you can access them anytime. If you really need to do paper files, sort them alphabetically and file immediately so they don’t pile up like a mountain on your desk. There are more countless minimalist ways for office workspaces.
