January 13 - National Clean Off Your Desk Day

Happy National Clean Off Your Desk Day! On the second Monday of January each year, today is an opportunity to begin your new year with a clean and organized workspace.

   

Whether your desk is in a private or shared office, cubicle, home or a make-shift desk on the counter, having your workspace uncluttered and organized will help you work more efficiently. A clean workspace improves productivity and inspires us, too. It often gives us a sense of serenity.

Tips for Getting Organized

• •  Remove everything from your desk. Yes, everything. 
• •  Clean the surface. As you replace items, clean them with the appropriate cleaning supply. Usually, a damp cloth is sufficient, but other electrical items need specific care. 
• •  Get out the shredder and the garbage can. Shred, file, scan documents, business cards, recipes, photos as needed. 
• •  Place all documents and photos in the appropriate locations. 
• •  Shred and toss outdated documents, non-working pens, junk mail.
