Over the past decade, working from home has slowly become a normal part of the average work schedule. More recently, some occupations are converting to work-from-home indefinitely. Having to work a full-time job at your home can be awkward or uncomfortable if you do not have a separate space set up where you can focus and give your undivided attention to your work.

If you have been putting off cleaning up that extra room so you can have a clean workspace, wait no more. We have some helpful tips for getting that space into a state of productivity and organization.

Make a Plan

Trying to jump right in will likely set you up for failure. Trying to take on a disorganized mess without at least some sort of preparedness will have you throwing in the towel sooner than you anticipated. Make a quick list of areas you would like to address and the order you would best tackle them.

Use a 3 Pile Method

This is a simple concept that usually gets successful results. Create areas (piles) for what you would like to keep, what you would like to trash, and items that can be donated.

Go Through Paperwork

Paperwork is a daunting task even for the most meticulous and organized individuals but it has to be done. No one wants to work in an environment with papers lying around everywhere.

Dispose of Old Electronics Responsibly

Discarded electronics cause pollution. Most devices contain hazardous chemicals like mercury, lead, and flame retardants. When old electronics are discarded into landfills, they pollute the air and leak these chemicals into the soil. That’s why you can’t just put them out with your usual garbage pickup. Look for a recycling plant, or call in a company like us here at St. Pete Junk Removal who responsibly takes care of unwanted electronics.

Handle Old Office Furniture

That wobbly desk leg is pretty distracting when you’re trying to work. Consider repairing it or recycling it. You might be able to sell it at a discounted price to someone who would like to update it.
