No matter where you are, it's much easier to concentrate on the tasks in front of you if you are working in a space that is decluttered and neat. You may have heard the phrase that a clean space leads to a clean mind, and it's absolutely true! You are going to suffer in an office environment that remains disorganized, and it's going to make you feel more anxious if you are working in a space that is constantly overcrowded.

It's important to have a clear mind to allow you to stay on task for what you are doing, and this means that you need to get rid of the clutter around you. It may well be that you don't have the time to commit to getting rid of all of your things, but whatever the reason, you need to address a cluttered environment. Below, we've got five tips to help you to declutter that office of yours at last.

When it comes to your desk, only keep the things that you need for the task at hand on it. If you know that you are going to be distracted by piles of files, utilize the filing cabinets you spent money on. Use the same pens to take notes, and keep all the items that you need to do this within reach. If you use Airpods to filter out the surrounding noise, then you need to ensure that you have them in arm's reach. This will stop you from keeping unnecessary items littered around your typing space.

• Cleaning should be on your office schedule - whether this is at home or in a commercial environment. You may find that bin hire is easier in a commercial building to help you to declutter the entire space, but the key here is to ensure that you are doing this regularly enough not to need a weekly deep clean! Purging things instead of keeping them is going to help you to keep your office clear!

• As much as possible, use digital documents and donate the hard copies to the shredder! Digitizing your office is smart if you want to ensure that you are keeping your surfaces clear of paperwork build up. When you don't need something, get rid of it. You do not need to save anything "for later".

• Keep your personal items out of the office as much as possible. Yes, have some photos but get them onto the corkboard or the wall. Everything on your desk should relate to your job at hand and no more.

• Stock your supplies in a dedicated cupboard. Out of sight, out of mind, and if you ensure that you are keeping your things out of sight you're going to be able to stay organized and keep your office as functional as possible.

When you get your office decluttered, you're going to instantly feel the magic of a tidy space. You won't believe how much time you spent wasting it all with your disorganization! Your office - and your mind - deserve to be without clutter. And now you know how!
