Tools and Best Practices for Keeping a Clean and Organized Desk

A clean and organized desk is essential for productivity and mental clarity. A dirty or cluttered workspace can make it difficult to focus on tasks and can lead to increased stress levels. To maintain a clean desk, it’s important to establish tools and best practices for keeping a clean and organized desk and workspace.

Organizing Your Desk

Start by decluttering your desk. Remove any items that are not essential and find a home for them elsewhere. Of course, having personal items or mementos, such as family photos and decorations, can bring a sense of happiness to your space. One method for eliminating unnecessary items is to ask yourself, “do I use this often?” Or, “Does having this item on my desk bring me joy and peace?” From there, removing items that don’t serve you and may be cluttering your space will be easier. Once you’ve decluttered, establish a filing system for papers and documents that need to stay on your desk. Use trays, folders, or binders to keep everything in its place.

Cleaning Your Desk Equipment

Next, clean your computer and keyboard. A clean computer and keyboard can help prevent the spread of germs and bacteria. In fact, A recent study conducted by consumer watchdog Which?, tested 30 office keyboards and found that the average keyboard was home to around 7,500 bacteria, including some strains that can cause food poisoning and other illnesses. Keeping your high-touch computer keyboard sanitized is essential for maintaining a hygienic and clean workspace. To clean your computer monitor or screen, you can simply spray a cleaning agent onto a microfiber cloth and wipe it down.

Tools for Maintaining a Clean and Organized Desk

For optimal sanitization of your keyboard, consider investing in a washable keyboard like the ones offered by Seal Shield. Seal Shield keyboards are waterproof and spill proof, making it easy to clean and disinfect. These keyboards are perfect for high-traffic areas where germs and bacteria can easily spread. Or, for supporting a clean and organized desk in an office or home environment.
