Organize Your Workspace, Be More Productive

Published: Jan 19, 2017

Not enough time is spent cleaning up the clutter that is your workspace. You never seem to find that one document that you urgently need or the keys to the file cabinet or your phone charger. And yet, it’s taking up huge chunks of your day!

If you’re spending a good part of your day trying to cruise through the chaos of your workplace, it’s going to show sooner or later and you’re likely to land into trouble. Our advice is to get working on cleaning it up once and for all – well, as long as you understand it’s going to need some keeping up.

Start afresh

Get rid of anything you no longer require. Things that you used to need or might require in the future should be filed separately and stored away. To effectively organize or reorganize your stuff, you need to get rid of everything that is not currently necessary.

Rearrange

Now that you’re rid of all that is unnecessary, it’s time to find solutions for the rest of the problems. Maybe you’ve become complacent with how things are because it’s been going on for too long. A quick and easy way to get your organizational instincts kick in is to rearrange everything to make it easier and quicker to access.

Learn to manage time

Disorganization could just be a symptom of a more common affliction – time mismanagement. One of the simplest and most effective ways to overcome this is to jot down everything you need to accomplish in a day – a to-do list – and assign each task the time it requires while making sure that you do not exceed it. Adhere to this pattern till you break the habit of miscalculating your priorities at work.

Organize digitally

The condition of your digital desktop, email and social media is a reflection of your organizational skills, or lack thereof. Remedying only one could become a hurdle in the rehabilitation of your habits. If you want to keep up the organization of your workspace, let the organization spread to other parts of your life that ask for it. Organize your digital desktop by getting rid of all that is unnecessary, much like you did with your physical desktop.

Get the right accessories

A big part of how you organize is what tools you use on a daily basis. A wrong filing system could breakdown your whole work ethic. Get the right filing cabinet, the right size desk (a height-adjustable or standing desk, if that suits you), an ergonomic chair and see the difference yourself. It’s alright to ask for things you need. Letting their absence hinder your work is not.

After Collaborative Workspaces: Taking the Next Step in Office Design

Workplaces are evolving fast. For long, open office layouts have dominated new and old businesses. But just like the high-walled cubicles of the 1980s, this trend too will have to evolve or be replaced.

There is no doubt that open offices promote collaboration and closely-knit work cultures;learning and development is in abundance and there is no isolation. This can, however, backfire if not executed well.

There’s a certain music to productivity. You may need interaction when coming up with new ideas or yearn for some privacy when tasks get more demanding. Therefore, every workplace must strive to strike a perfect balance between what employees need socially and what gets the work done.

Matthew Cooper of Woodhouse Workspace has some insights into the matter. Read on to learn more.

In a recent study, Office Genie asked 2,000 UK-based workers about their working environment. Respondents reported that the design of their workspace had by far the greatest impact on their well-being, with a well-designed office reportedly boosting feelings of happiness by 33 percent, compared to 12 percent for flexible working opportunities.

If it doesn’t come down to funky color schemes and the latest tech, then what does make an inspiring workplace which will boost productivity?

Work with your office culture

The key is to remember that a great office culture starts from the inside. A well-designed space should be created to reflect the ethos of the company as a whole, not to act as a Band-Aid to fix an ailing office culture. When your company’s values are strong, and your people are aligned with their work, then the right workspace can help make a good organization exceptional. But without clear direction and a purpose-driven design, it can fall flat on its face. It’s vital as a company that you find the right balance between your culture and creative workspaces.

Those quirky features and layouts, which might work well in the creative or tech industries, could be disastrous if installed in a company with more traditional values or even a warehouse environment. That’s not to say that modern design concepts shouldn’t be implemented, but they need to chime with your brand and your people.

So, with all this in mind, what steps should you take to turn a space into an exceptional workplace?

Creating a smarter workplace strategy

The first step in any workspace design should be to analyze how your business actually operates, and to hone in on the culture of the company. By speaking directly to employees and delving into aspects of the work day such as time spent at desks, the number and size of meetings, as well as core business objectives, it’s possible to engineer a workspace that boosts productivity, collaboration, innovation, and more.

By involving your people in the design process from the start, you stand to create a sense of ownership and belonging, which will in turn boost morale and engagement with the business as a whole. You’ll begin to create spaces which work with the needs and personality of your business, inspire your workforce, and help you retain the best people.

Ensure your space actually meets the needs of your employees

With the rise of open plan offices, increasingly the tide is turning and people are asking for access to quieter areas where they can focus. Creating a space which encourages your employees to engage with the business as a whole is a balancing act. The needs of the end user need to be at the fore throughout the process, too. For many, the solution is to remove the ‘80s-style cubicles, and to introduce different areas to meet the different needs of employees throughout the working week. At Fast Company, for example, they have introduced an open plan office, but with library style partitions between certain areas to give the sense of privacy too.

With all of this in mind, it’s important to remember that as your business grows, your workspace will need to grow, too. It’s vital you work from the outset to ensure your culture remains uncompromised and that you constantly ask the question: “What is the end goal?”

When a workspace grows in a way that is aligned with your company, bridging the gap between architecture, interior design, and employee engagement, it will become a truly exceptional workspace. Read full post

Is Open Office Design Really the Way to Go: Not For Everybody

Concentration, collaboration and productivity – how an open plan affects your work is truly just subject to your disposition.

Despite the success of open office designs, fueled by the prosperity of tech giants like Google and Amazon, many employees from many organizations report a decline in productivity due to the constant distractions and interventions enabled by an open design.

Close Workspace Furniture — **Modern Office Furniture**

To surpass this conundrum, StrongProject provides ideas for closed workspaces for groups or individuals.

THE OPPOSITE OF OPEN OFFICE DESIGN

Based on all the trends coming out of Silicon Valley, workers today want bright, open-air, open office designs with plenty of social interaction and zero privacy – right?

Maybe not. Based on recent findings from the Journal of Environmental Psychology, higher levels of distress, irritation, fatigue and difficulty concentrating were reported by workers in open-plan offices rather than those who work in private offices. Additionally, employees with private offices report feeling more satisfied with their job performances than open-plan office employees, and some studies show that open-plan offices actually have a negative impact on collaboration because of the lack of privacy.
