OFM, a leading office and school furniture manufacturer, distributor and wholesaler, is sharing its five tips on how workers can make the most out of Leap Day, the extra day on February 29, and organize their office to create a more productive workspace.

Zalcberg and OFM’s staff of office furniture professionals shared these five tips for creating a productive workspace:

1. Clean your desk.
Many people have a tendency to stack papers and other work materials in little piles around their desks, which can be helpful for a little while. But if those piles are for projects that are finished, file them or throw them away.

2. Keep it close.
For paperwork that you need to reference frequently, consider a rolling file pedestal, such as one of these four models from OFM- http://ofminc.com/products.asp?catid=204. Put really important files in a red folder at the near end of the drawer for quick reference.

3. De-clutter.

4. Get virtually tidy.
Don’t forget your computer. Too many people work off of desktops full of dozens of icons for old spreadsheets and documents. If you don’t want to spend time organizing them, just put them all in a single folder and keep your desktop clear.

5. Wipe it down.
Bring a spray bottle of a common household cleaner to work. Not only will it keep your desk germ-free to wipe it down from time to time, but it will also remind you to keep your desk clear enough that you can.

“A clean desk means fewer distractions and it makes it easier to find important documents. It also subconsciously makes you feel good about your environment which can lead to increased productivity,” said Zalcberg. “You can spend at least a third of your day at your desk. It should feel like a good place to be.”
