Create an Office Clean-Up Day
Take a little bit of time every week, even just 15 minutes, to tidy up your office so you get off to a fresh start on Monday. Since I have a home office, I find that Sunday evenings work really well for me. If you are working in a business office, consider taking the last 15 minutes of your day on Friday to straighten up. Now this isn’t about a big ‘clear the clutter and reorganize session,’ this is just a little cleaning tune-up that doesn’t require a lot of brain power.
First critical step: Put on some good music.
Other quick and easy tasks:
- Dust
- Empty garbage & recycle
- Water plants
- Vacuum
- Wipe down computer screen
- Clean keyboard
- Shred papers
- Lay out projects to work on during the week
- Delete e-mails
- Look over schedule for the week
Final critical step: Treat yourself to some chocolate-never hurts!
Take a little time each week to clean up a bit and feel in control when Monday rolls around!
