While the covid pandemic gave rise to more flexibility through remote working, the importance of a well-organised office space is still key to maximising productivity.

Where you work, how you work, and all the potential distractions surrounding you, can mean the difference between just coasting, and truly thriving in your work performance.

Property entrepreneur Obaid Naqebullah notes that many new developments are providing office space within the building to offer residents work/life balance and reduce lengthy commutes.

“Planning for office space that’s in the neighbourhood allows business to capitalise on a local workforce and enhance lifestyles for families wanting to live in a walkable neighbourhood,” he says.

Even in the digital era, office space is important. These are places where people congregate to share ideas and news, collaborate on projects face to face, and celebrate a company’s wins when they hit milestones.

Psychologists often reference the concept of a ‘clean’ desk creating a ‘clean’ mindset, reinforcing the need to keep our office space uncluttered and functional.

Beyond the aesthetic of a tidy workspace, it seems there’s a powerful connection between a well-organised office space and mental clarity.

An organised desk and office tidy can positively impact your productivity, reduce stress levels, and create a working environment that inspires optimism and creativity.

Nobody works well amid mess and chaos, so a harmonious working environment starts with the physical structures around you. Is your computer screen dust free? Are tech charging points in the right place. Have you cleared the month’s stray paperwork? Is there vibrant artwork or motivational posters that can give staff an emotional boost? 

Some research reveals that office mess can negatively impact on workers’ mental health. An unkempt area can lead to procrastination and a lack of motivation in staff. Even the simple act of eating at your desk can create a bad habit that damages productivity. Taking a break is good for the body, allowing you to stretch and move. And it’s good to help you recharge your thinking so that when you return to a project, you come back with renewed perspective and focus.

Obaid Naqebullah says physical and digital systems that organize the business can also streamline processes and unlock productivity. Shared work drives in the cloud provide back up security and accessibility for work documents and reduce the need for high powered computer systems with expensive memory storage.

Having a central access point for company brochures, projects, and sales results enables greater efficiency so that every possible data source can be found at a moment’s notice.
