3 Steps to Boost Your Productivity

1. Organize Your Writing Desk

The key thing you need to remember is that your writing desk should be organized for the way your work. If you want to get rid of clutter you have on the table, learn how to declutter your desk once and for all.

Here are several ideas on how to organize the desk:

Contain papers, drafts, and notes in notebooks, binders, or file cabinets

Use boxes for utensils

Keep magazines/books on bookshelves or in baskets

Set up a proper lighting

Keep often-used gadgets close to you (a digital highlighter/smartpen)

Once you form a habit of cleaning up your desk daily, you can become more organized, focused, and able to get more tasks accomplished.

2. Organize Your Workspace

Obviously, your workspace is not only a writing desk, so take a look around your office. It should be a territory that inspires you to work on your most important priorities. Sometimes, people don’t pay attention to their workspaces, but if you want to enjoy the working process, you may need to make some changes.

First of all, demark two zones: computer and non-computer ones.

A computer zone is for work, as it is a place where you have a writing desk with a computer. Freelance workers may complete tasks, write emails, and surf the Internet here.

A non-computer zone is for relaxing. Go to this zone when you want to take a break or boost inspiration. Display a quote or painting that inspires you, have books you like easily accessible and use mobile gadgets (a phone or a tablet) to keep working here (if you need to).

Don’t hesitate to spend some time organizing your workspace, as it can boost spirits and increase productivity. As people say, “Do what you love, love what you do.”

3. Take Care Of Your Health

No matter where you work, whether from home or an office, you need to stay healthy. Being a healthy person will likely allow you to achieve better results with your work. This includes eating healthy meals, taking breaks, and exercising. Unfortunately, people poison their health, even without knowing that.

If you want to stay healthy, add some comfort to your workspace:

Pick up a comfortable office chair that supports the lower back

Use mini elliptical trainers to do some physical exercises while working

Get live plants to clean the air

Stand up from time to time to reduce the risk of health diseases

Use a standing/sitting desk to change your position

Living in the digital era, you know the importance of modern gadgets. However, you need to remember to change the brightness level and the color temperature of your computer screen.

Take a look at your workspace. Are you ready to change it?
