Written By: Chandra Gore

The saying “A cluttered space reflects a cluttered mind” has been proven by a 2009 study that a cluttered environment will increase your cortisol levels, leading to anxiety and depression disorders

Here are five ways you can declutter your office to create a productive and healthy space to thrive and maintain a healthy mental state.

Go through old items that are not being used and discard them For example, that stack of Post-it notes you have already transferred the information from or old mail that should be shredded

Remove unused items from your desk - seeing the availability of space can assist with the reorganization of your desk that you may need The slight movement of a lamp can possibly make a huge difference in your mood

After you have gone through the items that are not being used or documents that need to be shredded, remove everything from your desk or, if needed, your entire office space Look at your storage options and how they are being used

Map out how you would like your office to flow Do you have a window that allows you to have lots of natural light? Consider this as your point of reference when bringing your items back into your office

End your day by putting your items away and doing a light cleaning. This will help you when you go back the next day. You will feel as if you are starting with a clean slate for your day.

Note that not every step may apply to you but use which ones will help you feel more confident in work and have a stress-free environment Always remember to do what you feel is best for your mental health
