Productivity Tip: Clean Up Your Office

I’ve heard it stated before, this is not an original idea, but let me just state that this works incredibly well for me.

This morning I came into my home office to sit down for a good solid day’s work and just felt lethargic. I couldn’t focus, couldn’t decide what to work on, and nothing sounded even vaguely interesting. I decided to clean my office.

My desk was cluttered, my floor had various boxes, computer monitors, paper, and garbage strewn about. Half read books, empty pop cans, and dirty dishes abounded. I spent 20 minutes erradicating this clutter and putting everything back in it’s proper place. Immediately afterward, I felt refreshed and inspired to get work done. I am now cranking away happily.

Clean your space up.
