Since decluttering is such a time-consuming task, you only need to purge your space once or twice a year. Decluttering is also helpful before a big move, so you don’t have to carry as much with you. Use the following techniques to remove the clutter that has piled up in your space over the years:
Clear the area:
If you have space, it’s best to take all of the items out of shelves and cabinets and put them somewhere else. With all the items gone, you can easily wipe down a clear surface before you replace the items.
Sort your items:
Sort your items to figure out what you need and what you don’t. Doing this saves you money over time, as you will probably find pens and sticky notes that you don’t have to order! Sort your items into “keep,” “maybe” and “discard” piles. Consider what items you need, what items you can hold onto for now, and what items you can throw out.
Assign your items to specific places:
Figure out the most logical places for your items in terms of how often you use them and how accessible you need them to be.
Store your items in shelves, bins and dividers:
Loose papers can crowd a workspace, especially when the documents have piled up over the years. Dividers can easily slip into a desk and provide for efficient storage for your office workers, and file cabinets can make shared documents easy to access for all employees.
Add hang-up hooks to your office’s walls:
That way, everyone can hang up their coats instead of putting them on their chairs.
