1. Reduce your Office Items – aka Purge! Clear everything off your desk that doesn’t absolutely need to be there. Photos, calendars, books, supplies, and food should all be considered. Then, clear out the drawers, cabinets, filing systems and make keep, trash recycle and scan piles. Yep – it will take some time, but the end result will be worth it.
2. Clean your space…and keep it clean. Now that your space is clear of clutter, is there a little dust you hadn’t noticed?  Give your desktop a fresh start…extra points if you use alcohol wipes!
3. Designate Space Decide what you will store digitally and what will go in drawers and what stays on the desk. Did you know a notes program can probably remove 95-100% of the notes cluttering your workspace? And, an external hard drive can be used to store all those docs from your scan pile? All digital is great, but it doesn’t work for everything, so use drawers to keep projects, tools, and supplies accessible but out of sight. Project papers can be stored in labeled folders for easy access. And only the current project that I’m working on gets to be on my actual desk surface. Don’t forget that filing cabinet. Just be sure to organize your files in a way you will understand – maybe A-z, or by priority? 
4. Label Everything Get a cool label maker and fun labels that match your office decor. Labeling means you stay organized and can easily see where things are stored.
5. Clean Your Computer Like Your Desk A cluttered unorganized computer desktop can be just as distracting as a cluttered deck. Find a non-distracting background image, remove unnecessary icons or move to a folder. Create folders like you did in your filing cabinet – labeled in a way that makes sense to you. 
6. Get a “Organize Later” Tray Set a tray somewhere in your office to put new or stray documents – something someone hands you or leaves on your desk – anything that needs to be filed or organized later. 
7. Practice Makes Perfect Keep your desk clutter free each day – even documents you don’t know yet what to do with – file them in your Later Tray – but do it all day, every day! And, straighten up before you go. Clear away your coffee cups and snack wrappers, dust, and organize your desk. Having a clear space each morning is sure to get you off to a great start

Mindfulness practices can help you increase your ability to regulate emotions, decrease stress, anxiety and depression. It can also help focus your attention, as well as to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Riding a bike, lifting weights, sweating it out on a treadmill—each can be a mindfulness practice. Whatever the physical activity, instead of simply working out to master a skill or improve your condition, you can move and breathe in a way that shifts you from feeling busy and distracted to feeling strong and capable.

By donating your clothes, you create a supply of quality clothing for people who could otherwise not afford them. Whether you’re donating directly or giving your items to a secondhand shop, those clothes are going to people who don’t have many alternatives.

By donating your clothing, you also stop the landfills from getting bigger and you keep usable material from being thrown in the trash. Many mass-produced clothing lines have fibers inside of them that will never break down, no matter how much time passes.

And, donating your clothes can help unclutter your closet and give you a sense of calm!

Articles, interesting websites, things you see that you want to buy—these are all things you don’t want to distract you during your work day, but you want to save to check out later. Unfortunately, if you leave their tabs open, they’re still probably distracting you.

Instead of feeling nervous that you missed something because you let a tab close, feel confident that you will be able to rediscover it using your browser history. Heck, omnibar-based browser setups, like Chrome and Opera, also remember the tabs you opened, so you can save some time.

If you keep more than a few tabs open at the same time, it eats up your computer’s memory and makes everything, especially the browser itself, run slower. Sometimes it will crash the browser.

Besides making things harder to find, did you know a messy disorganized junk drawer can be a fire hazard? If you have batteries in that drawer (and let’s face it we all probably do) they can combust and start a fire if they come into contact with each other, a piece of metal, or if the battery should fail.

Take a look at this video for tips on how to clean out and organize your junk drawer.

We all depend on technology to get things done, connect with loved ones far away and more. But there are benefits to unplugging – even if just for an hour a day:

• Good for Your Mental Health
  Studies have found a correlation between anxiety and stress and a greater usage of devices, like smartphones and TVs.
• Better SleepMost screens emit blue light, which our brains connect with daylight. This upsets our circadian rhythms, suppressing melatonin and other sleepy-time hormones.
• Reconnecting With LifeThere’s evidence that disconnecting from technology can help your non-digital life become richer and fuller. Just the presence of a cell phone can negatively impact the quality, depth, empathetic connection of a conversation.

Packing your own lunch the night before can help ensure you eat a healthy meal the next day and stay on track with a diet. It also saves you money and time. Not going out for lunch allows you to spend about half the amount and also saves time driving – so maybe you can leave a little earlier, get a quick workout in or at least get more done.
