3 Tips to Keep Your Home Office Clean & Organized

Staying focused is key to run a successful business. However, when your home is your office, staying focused also becomes one of the biggest challenges. Distractions such as loud neighbors, having a full fridge to your own, having the TV too close for comfort, and just the fact of knowing that your office is your home and you can do whatever you want in it (including messing it up), all can play against you.

Disorganization in a home office can trigger chaos in your business or work. It may seem easy and convenient to have a home office, but it’s much harder than it looks. Keeping it clean and organized is the first step to success.

To help you achieve all your business goals, we have come up with a list of tips that will enable you to keep your office clean and organized so you can make room for success.

Tip #1: Get rid of unnecessary things

The first thing you need to keep in mind is that disorganized and cluttered desks are always a major source of problems. Things get lost and oftentimes you invest a lot of time looking for them, and as we all know, time is money, the last thing you want is to lose money due to disorganization.

De-cluttering your space is the first step to take to be productive and give a professional impression to your clients. Moreover, you want to reduce the amount of unnecessary paperwork sitting on the desktop. File away things that don’t need your immediate attention so that it doesn’t distract you from your most critical tasks.

Tip #2: Maintain the space clean

Keeping your home office decluttered is one thing, but keeping it clean is completely different. Maintaining a clean space will help leave a good impression on your clients, it will give you clarity of mind and it will also ensure your electronics, files, and furniture are kept in a good state. Many professionals who work from home often wear nice clothes while they work so that they have the proper mindset when sitting in on meetings or leading a discussion remotely. Try to imagine the home desk is your desk in a professional office setting. Will you allow clutter to get out of control if you knew your boss (or direct reports) could walk by at any time?

Tip #3: Dust off regularly

Dusting off your office will help you maintain it clean and will prevent you or your staff from acquiring or developing dust allergies or other types of respiratory problems and it shows everyone who visits that you care about your business.

If you’re thinking that following these tips will increase your workload, then consider the benefits of hiring someone to do some of these things for you. Hire a professional house cleaning service to take care of the decluttering and cleaning of your home office and even the rest of the home as necessary.
