You’ve been meaning to get it done for a while. Your desk is cluttered, you’re low on supplies, the paperwork is mounting. With the new year comes new starts, so what better time than to get a bit of a spruce on the way, so you can hit the ground running in the new year?
Here's some easy ways you can get your home office prepared for the new year:
Get Cleaning
With the way that things have been this year, you have likely kept on top of the cleaning in your office, however, it is still important to include this as cleaning can make the world of difference to how your office feels. Organizing office cleaners can also be beneficial as you will benefit from a professional deep clean.
Get Rid Of The Old And Bring In New
Get stocked up on the essentials! Add pens, envelopes, a new diary, etc. The same applies to old equipment and office furniture. You don't have to make huge investments to give your office a new breath of life. A new office chair, or a potted plant can revive a space without breaking the bank.
Get Organizing
Part of becoming Organised is to make sure you are fully prepared for the new year, order yourself a 2021 calendar and diary, and bring forward any important dates to this year from Outlook. Using a handheld diary as well as one online will enable to you add things as you are on the go, and make sure you are never double booked.
Be Inspired
Your home office should be thought about in the same way as a place of work, therefore, you need to inspire yourself. It may be painting it in a color that motivates you more or even add inspiring quotes/stencils. The way your office is laid out can also have a big impact on how motivated you are.
Perhaps try moving your desk next to a window so you get plenty of natural light, or even consider researching Feng Shui. Your inspiration may also include office plants, to make your office feel fresher and more livable.
These four areas should help you to prepare your office for 2021 with ease. How are you getting yourself organized and ready?
