According to Lee, tidying up and maintaining a clean, clutter-free environment is a simple step toward improving productivity. This can be as simple as clearing out your junk drawer, filing those loose papers away, and tossing pens that no longer work.
“At the end of each day, remember to clear your desk by taking back any water bottles, coffee cups, or plates,” she said. “Starting each day with a clean desk leads to a clear mind.”
She also told BI that although the ideal desk setup varies for everyone, simplicity is often key. As for organization tools, Lee suggested having containers for pens, mail, and document storage.
