Time To Clean Out And De-clutter Your Home Office

Do you get the Spring Home Office Blues? With spring in the air, warmer weather and the first hints of green outside, it's easy to feel a little depressed if you are stuck in your home office for a good part of the day. One of the best ways to tackle this problem is to give your home office a good spring-cleaning and makeover.

Rid Yourself of the Clutter.

Nothing makes you feel more trapped inside than a cluttered office. Take an hour or two and go through everything in your home office. Sort through stacks of paper, and toss or file everything appropriately. This is also a great time to ban anything that does not apply to your actual work from your home office, including children's toys, magazines, personal bills and correspondence, junk mail etc.

Time For A Thorough Cleaning

Now that the extra clutter has gone, set aside some time to give your office a thorough cleaning. Start at the top of the room (the ceiling) and work your way down. Clean any ceiling fans and light fixtures, as well as curtain rods and door frames. Clean the windows inside and out and throw the curtains in the washing machine. Remove books and picture frames from shelves, dust them off and give the entire shelf a good dusting as well. Mop the floor, or if you have carpet, consider getting it professionally cleaned (as well as the rest of the house while you're at it!). Don't forget to wipe down any pictures you have hanging and dust the baseboards. If you don't have the time, or just don't like to clean, consider hiring a cleaning service to come in and do the job for you.

Rearrange Your Office Furniture

Can you rearrange the office furniture to give you a new, fresh look? Consider moving your desk in front of a window so you can see outside. Bring in a comfortable chair that you can relax in while you read over proposals, or study the latest print publication for your industry. Buy some new pictures or more recent family photos, a different rug, or any other accessories that will give your office the look you want.

Bring The Spring Inside

Celebrate the coming of spring with a few new plants for your office and some fresh cut flowers from your garden or your local florist. Open the window whenever weather permits to let the fresh clean spring air in.

And while your office is getting this new spring clean don't forget that you need to enjoy the pleasures of spring too. Get some fresh air outside with your family. It's good for all of you, and you'll find that coupled with your fresh, clean office you'll be more productive in your business life.
