It’s spring cleaning time!
When we have too much clutter – both physical and digital – it wastes time and energy. This is a great time to clean up your office and desk space so you can focus on the work in front of you. While you’re at it, give your screen and keyboard a good cleaning, too!
Take a look at your paper files to see what can be shredded or scanned to get rid of as much paper as possible. Delete any digital files you no longer need.

I’ve talked before about decluttering your email inbox and I’ll leave the links to those videos below.
But here are a few things you may not have thought about:
First, your computer Home screen: is it cluttered with shortcuts you no longer need or use?
Next, explore the apps on your computer or phone? How many no longer serve you? Uninstall apps you don’t use on both your computer and your phone, and organize your phone’s apps so you can find them easily.
Finally, take a look at your browser’s bookmarks. Are there bookmarks that are outdated or that you no longer need?
