Getting organized and staying organized are challenging tasks, mainly because people don’t want to take the time to do it. However, you spend anywhere from three to four times as much time looking for items that could have been organized as soon as they arrived and were processed.
Obutto has created the best ergonomic workstation for your home and office use. It doubles also as the best sim racing cockpit, so you can be comfortable while sitting for long periods of time. Our ergonomic chair will take the kink out of your neck and the pressure off your spine to help decrease back pain you may be experiencing. Below, we’ll go over more tips on how you can organize your workspace. Order our ergonomic computer desk today!
MORE ORGANIZATIONAL TIPS FOR YOUR WORKSPACE
Organize Your Computer
Many of us have cluttered desktops, as well as files that are just hard to find. Thus, when we need an item quickly, we can waste time trying to figure out what folder we saved the item to. Instead, Obutto recommends that once a week you go through the files you saved to your desktop and either delete them or move them to user-friendly files with descriptive names. If you think of the amount of time you can waste scrolling through old files, that time can add up — and quickly.
Filter and Organize Your Emails
Many of us receive hundreds of emails a day, both on our personal emails and our work emails. Just like you took the time to organize your computer, you need to take the time to organize and/or delete your emails. You can set up filters so only the important emails land in your inbox. You can also set up folders so you can find emails easily when you need to refer back to them. Also, Obutto notes that the delete key is your friend. Odds are, you’re not going to need the 20% off coupon for footwear from the store you visited once last year. Delete it. Every time you read it or come back to it, you waste time. Similarly, take the extra second to junk emails that make it through the spam queue. This will help your email filters to keep unwanted emails at bay — saving you hours in the long run.
Use Color
Not only can color evoke moods, such as calming effects, but when you color code items, it helps you to find them easier. For example, You can use colors to designate a class of items, such as red for unpaid invoices and blue for paid invoices. All of your vendor files can be pink, and all of your tax files can be yellow. Color helps us to find things quickly and easily.
Designate Activity Areas
If you remember back in school, you may have had a craft table, a coloring table, a writing table, and a reading table. At each of these tables, you had everything you needed for those tasks, such as crayons and colored pencils at the coloring table, and glue, scissors, and stickers at the craft table. This made switching students and organizing tasks easier while at school.
You can use this same idea at work as well. You can have your main workspace be your ergonomic workstation from Obutto, you can have a reference table where you keep your portfolios, reference books, and filing cabinets, and you can have a separate supply closet or shelf for all of your office supplies. If you are an architect, you can have a separate drafting table. If you are a woodworker, you can have a separate hand-carving station versus power-toll station. What this does is it keeps everything you need for frequent tasks handy so they don’t walk away to others’ areas, and it keeps your other tasks separate. It’s so easy these days to get distracted by technology, yet having designed time to just get work done is super important.
