Empty your desktop
First of all, in order to be able to see clearly the options you can give to your desk, make 2 piles. In the first one put everything you’re going to throw away, that is, things you no longer use, or are not practical. In the second one, stack the rest, the objects that will later be replaced and that have a special value for you.
-
Redistribute
Before you start placing things back on the desk, take a minute to think about and don’t be tempted to put them where they were. Think of the new space you have and locate the objects as you find them more comfortable to use; that way you’ll save time when you work and you’ll be much more productive.
-
Keep an order
When you have finished placing the last object on the table, memorize where everything is. From now on, that order will be the one established and you shouldn’t allow chaos to take over it. If everything is in place, your mind will appreciate it and at the time of working your ideas will flow more spontaneously and orderly.
