Does Your Desk Reflect Your State of Mind?

Our time is so divided with distractions in our daily life, having a messy and cluttered desk only adds to being distracted, overwhelmed and stressed. 


How can you focus when your desk and workspace are messy? 




It's amazing how a cluttered space, whether in your office, your desk, car or closets, can affect your mood and productivity. Remove the clutter and you will experience a big lift in your mood, productivity and wellbeing. If the task is too much for you to handle by yourself, ask a friend to help, or hire a professional, who can help you create a space that represents you and your purpose. 

I worked with a client who had an office space, but didn't feel happy or productive using it. The condition of her office was chaos and became a dumping ground for things that she didn't want to handle at the moment. 

There were stacks and stacks of paperwork, household items that were being stored there, including a few paint cans. She became overwhelmed with the idea of clearing it all out. It was a great office space with windows providing plenty of light, but the clutter and mess made it an undesirable place to be. Once I started to help she could see that her office space could be a beautiful and peaceful place to work in.  As a result of getting her office cleaned up, her productivity escalated and she was able to focus with much more clarity. 

We can all relate to having stacks and clutter that we are not addressing and how that weighs on us, consciously or subconsciously. The point is, having an uncluttered, purposeful space to work from will boost your feeling of wellbeing and enhance your productivity. And you will experience a lift in your energy when you don't have to deal with the clutter that you keep dismissing and you'll get to someday...which never comes.

Creating a workable space when on video calls. The rate of people working remotely from home has significantly increased from 3% to 42% or higher since the pandemic, and statistics show that 80% of companies plan to continue working remotely going forward. 


Therefore, it's important to create a clean, clear, purposeful space to conduct Zoom and video calls. Having distractions in your space, on the walls, on your desk and in the background will draw people's attention to those distractions.
