Organising your home office desk: 7 ideas for a calmer space
ECLATDESK
Working from home often means working on a corner of a table that's overflowing. Seven simple ideas to get back a clear desk you'll actually want to sit at.
1. Start with the screen
A screen at the right height changes everything, for your neck as well as your organisation. A monitor riser also frees up storage space underneath.
2. Give every device its place
Headphones, phone, controller: each gets its own stand. A headphone stand and a phone stand stop everything piling up around the keyboard.
3. Define your work zone
A desk mat clearly marks out your workspace, protects the desk and adds comfort at the keyboard and mouse.
4. Gather the small items
Pens, cards, USB sticks: a desk organiser or a pen holder brings them together in one place.
5. Store what you don't use every day
Documents, chargers, supplies: under the desk, in a clip-on drawer, rather than on the desktop.
6. Make the cables disappear
Put the power strip in a cable box and the desk instantly looks calmer.
7. Keep only the essentials
Fewer objects, better chosen: that's the most effective rule. To guide you, follow our 4 steps to build your desk.
