A clean workspace reduces mental clutter as much as physical clutter.
Weekly home office clean:
- Clear the desk surface completely. Return only what belongs.
- Wipe the desk surface with a damp microfiber cloth.
- Clean your monitor with a dry microfiber cloth – never spray cleaner directly on screens.
- Wipe keyboard with a lightly dampened cloth. Use compressed air between keys.
- Wipe the mouse and phone.
- Vacuum or sweep the floor and under the desk.
- Coil and organize cables.
Clutter on a work desk directly reduces productivity – the weekly reset is worth the 10 minutes it takes.
