The office is a sacred area for anyone trying to get work done. When you’re busy, clutter just interferes with your life and makes everything a lot more difficult. Instead of worrying about the constant build up of garbage in your office, there are a few simple things to do to keep it clean that might be easier than you think and stand a good chance of improving productivity.
Here are some simple ways to keep your office clean that won’t cost you a ton of time and energy…
Try an Automated Vacuum Robot
Vacuum systems like the Roomba allow you to vacuum without ever lifting a figure. This smart little machine automatically goes around your office and takes care of any business you might have left on the ground.
No time to vacuum? No problem, let the Roomba get it! This gives you the time to focus on your work while not allowing excessive dust and garbage to build up in your office.
Get Some Antibacterial Wipes!
Did you know the average keyboard actually has more bacteria on it than a toilet seat? It’s true. You touch things all day long and leave all those nasty bacteria everywhere on anything you touch!
Instead of spreading disease like crazy, get some bacterial wipes. This makes it easy to wipe your computer down and keep the entire desk clean so you aren’t spreading the last sickness you had every time you shake someone’s hand.
Schedule a Cleaning Time
Make your cleaning time the same every single week or day. It can be something as saying I’m going to clean my desk every day before I go home for the day. It can also be on a weekly basis. Getting the office clean once a week makes a huge difference in how you feel and how productive you are throughout the month.
Hire a Cleaning Service
Unless you get paid to clean, why clean? You would make a lot more money focusing on the things people are actually paying you to do! Have a cleaning service come in once a week and save yourself precious time to focus on the things that really matter. If you own a business or work as a freelancer, this is a great way to make the process simply, assuming you have the money.
Why Clean the Office?
There’s a lot of great reasons to keep it clean. Here are just a few that might make you rethink avoiding it:
- Better appearance
- Lower stress levels
- Get more work done. Less clutter means more focus!
- Clients will like it better, meaning more deals
- Less disease. The disease spreads with dirt
So there are plenty of reasons to keep it clean. It just depends on whether or not you have the time to get it done or if you are unable to do it. If you don’t have the time, hire someone to do it. If you do but don’t have the money, do it yourself with some of these simple, affordable tips!
