One of the best ways to be productive is by making your office a place where work can be done as efficiently as possible while being in a comfortable environment. Here are six tips on making your office a space for ultimate productivity.<\/p>\n
Divide up your office into functional areas<\/strong><\/p>\n You probably already use different areas of your office for different functions quite naturally. However, this doesn\u2019t mean you have all your equipment and supplies where you need them. For example, if you have printer paper on your desk, but your printer is somewhere else so you constantly have to walk between the two places, move the paper closer to the printer.<\/p>\n Keep the most-used items close to you<\/strong><\/p>\n The more you use a certain item, the closer it should be to your workspace. You wouldn\u2019t, for example, keep a pen in a cupboard well away from your desk if you always use the pen at your desk. If there is something you rarely use, store it somewhere out of the way to decrease clutter.<\/p>\n Think about storing files digitally<\/strong><\/p>\n It used to be that you needed all your important documents printed out on paper and stored in filing cabinets, which took up a lot of room. Even if you already use digital storage to keep your important documents safe, have another look through all your filing cabinets to see if there is anything else you can keep on your computer instead of on paper. But make sure you make backups of everything you have on your computer.<\/p>\n
