Some Office Organization Tips For Your Kansas City Office Space

If you office space is a bit messy and you are looking to get organized, here are some tips from Janet Taylor for tidying up your space and increasing your productivity:

Getting Started: Begin by clearing off your desktop, wiping it down, and cleaning out all of your drawers to create more storage space.

Set Up: Only put essentials on your desktop, such as your computer, phone, etc. Stock up on a variety of containers for office supplies, trays or organizers for papers, and boxes for dated files (which you can color-code for speedy file retrieval). Color coding can also be helpful for organizing checks if you are using multiple checking accounts. Use interior file folders to divide larger file folders, and be sure to put the tab in the front of your hanging file folders.

Avoid: Overloading folders—purge if you need to! Do not overload the drawers themselves either. Be sure not to let clutter and distractions pile up by clearing your workspace of everything but the project you are currently tackling.

Day to Day: Start your day by creating a master to-do list. When mail comes in, pre-sort it (file, read, contact). Return phone calls in batches, leaving a message stating when you called if need be.

Finishing Up: When you complete a project or an event, file or store the paperwork after you organize it. At the end of each day or week straighten up your desk so you can walk into a clear space the next morning.

Yoga in Your Kansas City Office Space

If you are desk-bound all day and looking for a way to take a quick stretch break, Cyndi Lee, founder of the OM yoga center in New York, has some Office Yoga Tips you can use to relax for a few minutes:

Sit on the edge of your chair with your feet on the floor hip distance apart, palms on thighs. Stretch out spine, balancing head over heart, heart over hips, and inhale and exhale for five counts each.
Inhale and lift arms overhead, grabbing left wrist with right hand. Exhale and bend to the right, staying there for three breaths to stretch your side. Inhale as you come back to vertical and then perform stretch on the other side.
Roll shoulders a few times, then on the fourth role, interlace fingers behind back and straighten arms (just hold onto the back of your chair if you don’t have enough room). Inhale and lift chest to make a high backbend. Stay here for three full breaths.
Exhale and place hands on knees, rounding spine. Tuck pelvis and pull naval away from knees to come into a seated cat pose. Let your head dangle and breathe deeply.
Perform an inversion by folding forward, letting upper body fall through thighs. Try to get your head lower than your hips, reaching toward the floor (or ankles or shins) with palms flat.
Slowly roll up, then exhale as you twist to the right. Place left hand on outside of right thigh and right hand on back of chair, making sure to lift your right armpit-chest area. Look over right shoulder to include your head in the twist, and move your eyes to the upper right corner of your eyes then the lower right corner. Repeat eye exercise twice. Then close your eyes, twist back to center, and repeat on other side.

An easy five minutes to de-stress!
