PRIORITISE ERGONOMICS AND COMFORT Productivity isn’t just about organisation – comfort plays a huge role. Poor posture or awkward layouts can lead to fatigue, aches and reduced focus. Check that: • Your monitor is at eye level • Your chair supports your lower back • Frequently used items are within arm’s reach • Your keyboard and mouse are positioned comfortably Simple additions like monitor risers, footrests or wrist supports can dramatically improve comfort and efficiency. REFRESH YOUR STATIONERY SUPPLIES The start of the year is the perfect time to replenish essential office supplies. There’s nothing more frustrating than running out of pens or printer paper mid-task. Stock up on: • Quality pens and highlighters • Notebooks and planners • Printer paper and ink • Sticky notes and labels Having the right tools readily available keeps work flowing smoothly and eliminates unnecessary interruptions.
OPTIMISE YOUR DIGITAL WORKSPACE TOO An organised desk should be matched by an organised computer. Digital clutter can be just as distracting as physical mess. Quick wins include: • Cleaning up your desktop and folders • Archiving old files • Unsubscribing from unnecessary emails • Creating simple naming conventions for documents Pairing good digital habits with a tidy physical workspace creates a seamless workflow that saves time every day. USE SHELVING AND VERTICAL SPACE If desk space is limited, look up. Wall-mounted shelves, pegboards or bookcases provide excellent storage without crowding your workspace. Vertical storage is ideal for: • Reference books • Archive boxes • Storage bins • Decorative items that inspire you Keeping the desktop clear while utilising wall space creates a more open, professional feel.
ADD A TOUCH OF PERSONALITY (BUT KEEP IT MINIMAL)
MAINTAIN THE SYSTEM ALL YEAR Organisation isn’t a one-off task. Schedule regular mini- resets – even just five minutes at the end of the day or a quick weekly tidy can
A workspace should feel inviting, not sterile. Adding subtle personal touches can boost motivation and wellbeing. Consider:
prevent clutter from building up again. Keep spare organisers, folders and labels on hand so it’s easy to adapt as your workload changes
• A small plant for freshness • One or two framed photos • A calming colour palette • A desk lamp with warm lighting
The key is balance – enough personality to feel comfortable, without overcrowding your space.
