This is never the case.Īnd typically, this is how people treat their computer filing system with documents spread across various locations, unorganised and chaotic.
Or, you could throw everything into a drawer and hope on the day when you need a nice shirt for a meeting, it'll jump out at you. You could sort your shirts by casual, formal and work. The idea of it is satisfying, but, once your clothes are sprawled across your bedroom floor, you begin to think, " what the hell have I gotten myself into?" The reason people don't have organised files is that it takes time. Luckily, whether you're a macOS or Windows user, there is a multitude of ways to organise your desktop for productivity once and for all. And so do I, my inspiration for this post! If this sounds anything like you, then you need to do some serious reorganising. I told those updates to "try again tonight." You never know, I may need just one of those 62 tabs.

This "tech-messiness" isn't great for your sanity, and it isn't doing much good for your productivity either. When the time comes to clean this mess, you have good intentions to keep your space tidy and organised with essential resources and tools within arm's reach.īut, there's one thing you're overlooking.Īn item with the potential to hold the clutter of 1000 workspaces. Papers piled, dirty coffee cups and remanence of yesterday's lunch surround you.Ĭlutter not only suffocates your workspace, but it also stifles your ability to think clearly, to concentrate, to be creative and embrace inspiration.
