<p>If you&rsquo;re wondering why you have not been excited to work lately or don&rsquo;t seem to get much done like you used to, chances are, your <a href="/catalog/home-office"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">home office</span></strong></a> space is not as sparkling clean, organized, and inspiring as it should be. Your home office space reflects what is going on in your mind, and when it&rsquo;s disorganized or messed up, it can take a great toll on your productivity. How then can you keep the anxiety out and lock productivity in place? Here are five simple things to do to always keep your home office space clean.</p>

<h2>Maximize Your Desk</h2>
<p>Your <a href="/catalog/desks"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">desk</span></strong></a> is a vital element in your home office space because that&rsquo;s where you do most of your work. So, if you&rsquo;re in the habit of putting random things on your desk, it&rsquo;s time to clear out all that stuff and leave only the essential and most significant things like your computer, pens, plants, and maybe some important paperwork or stationery you always use. Then, keep your desk that way! Organizing the surface of your desk will help you maximize the limited space you&rsquo;re working with.</p>
<h2>Keep Out What You Don&rsquo;t Need</h2>
<p>You really don&rsquo;t need to keep everything, especially things you rarely use. There&rsquo;s no point allowing these items to take up valuable space in your office and make it look untidy when you can simply keep them out of sight and out of mind. To keep your home office clean, learn to bid your final goodbyes to the things you don&rsquo;t need. Feel free to get a <a href="/catalog/filing-and-storage"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">storage</span></strong></a> basket and stack everything you don&rsquo;t use frequently but might need later.<br /><img alt="Organized home office" height="400" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_canada/CAN_Furn_Clean-Home-Office_2.jpg" title="CAN_Furn_Clean-Home-Office_2.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<h2>Don&rsquo;t Stuff Things Anywhere</h2>
<p>To keep your home office space clean, avoid stuffing things anywhere. Get <a href="/catalog/filing-and-storage"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">filing cabinets</span></strong></a> and drawers if you need to. Carefully sort out files before putting them in the filing cabinet. You can also label drawers to remind you what goes into them and stick to what the label says! When your cabinets are full, instead of stuffing them, shred old and unimportant documents and files to create the space you need. You can store important ones in safe boxes far away from your home office space. You can do this for your computer as well! Organize files and folders in a way that makes them easy to locate. Move outdated files to the recycle bin until you decide whether to get rid of them completely.</p>
<h2>Hide the Cables</h2>
<p>Not only will your home office space appear much more organized and cleaner when you hide your wires and cables, but it will also be safer because tangled or exposed cables and wires can be dangerous.</p>
<p><strong>Pro tip:</strong> Try keeping all your cords connected to the same outlet for easy access.</p>
<h2>Clean Every Day</h2>
<p>For a space you use regularly, cleaning should be a daily routine and not a one-time activity. The goal is to have your home office space always spick and span. You can make a schedule to do a ten-minute clean every day to put everything back in place and then a thorough wipe down on weekends. You can also start your day with a quick cleanup and wrap up your day with another one.</p>
