National Clean Your Desk Day.

By Site Owner

National Clean Your Desk Day.
Today is National Clean your Desk Day, a day celebrated on the second Monday of every year.

Today is a day all about preparing your workspace for the New Year and starting the year off on the right note, a day to come together and remove that clutter to make way for a productive year.

There is a known saying; a tidy home is a tidy mind, and the same applies to your workstation.

It is proven that a clean and tidy desk can help you to focus, be more productive and generally makes you feel better about your workspace.

Now, clean your desk day does not just mean physical clutter, it can also mean your Desktop and organising emails, maybe put some files away into folders.
Being organised within your work zone can make your everyday working more productive.

In recruitment it is said that a recruiter has 1000 tabs open in their mind at one time, therefore being as organised as possible within our workstations can help with the following:
  • Maintaining a professional image
  • Keeping you efficient
  • Keeping you focused
  • Reducing stress levels
  • Saving time

Here at Finlay Jude, we aim to take 10 minutes on a Friday afternoon, just before we leave, to give our desks a good tidy, shred any documents that are no longer needed or have not used all week, and wipe down our desk space, phones, and keyboards.

This creates a clean organised workspace to come into on a Monday morning, starting off the week as we mean to go on!!
