DECLUTTER YOUR DESK & COLOR YOUR WORLD

You may notice that these products are geared towards getting organized (in your workspace AND your journals), so we are inviting you to Declutter Your Desk & Color Your World with us from April 12th - 19th. Throughout the week, A&O will be providing inspiration to get involved, so read on to learn more about how decluttering can improve your mental wellness!

The Benefits of Decluttering for Mental Wellness

Do you feel stressed and overwhelmed by your workspace? Maybe your muddled drawers and growing supplies make it hard to find the specific items you need? Or is it hard to look at your busy to do lists and know where to start? If so, it might be time to declutter and organize your workspace.

A cluttered workspace can contribute to feelings of stress, anxiety, and a lack of focus. It can make it difficult to concentrate and prevent you from being productive or creative. Therefore, from April 12th - 19th we invite you to declutter your workspace with us, creating a more peaceful and productive environment by providing an instant positive impact on your mental wellness.

Not sure whether to get involved? Here are some of the benefits of decluttering:

• Reduces stress: Clutter can create a sense of chaos and overwhelm, which can contribute to feelings of stress and anxiety. Decluttering can help you feel more in control by creating a more organized and calming living environment.
• Increases focus and productivity: When you have a clear workspace, it's easier to focus on the task at hand. Creating a clearer space will eliminate distractions, which can boost your productivity.
• Boosts creativity: A cluttered space can prevent you from feeling creative. Having a clean and organized workspace means you can get going straight away when new ideas and inspiration strikes.
• Improves mental clarity: Letting go of unneeded possessions can promote a sense of control and empowerment over your surroundings. Being surrounded by clutter can make you feel overwhelmed, impacting all aspects of your day. By removing clutter you can promote a sense of relaxation and calmness in your workspace.

So how can you get involved?

Get involved by decluttering your space with us! If you’re struggling to know where to start, here are some easy ideas to start decluttering your workspace:

• Start small! Set aside 15 minutes each day to declutter: You don't need to tackle your entire workspace at once. By setting aside an achievable amount of time each day to declutter and organize your desk, you can make progress without feeling overwhelmed.
• Clear your immediate workspace: This means clear the areas you most use, allowing yourself to see progress and motivate you to declutter more difficult areas such as drawers.
• Eliminate duplicates: Do you have two staplers or three pairs of scissors in your workspace? Eliminate unnecessary duplicates and keep only what you need in your immediate vicinity.
• Organize your cables: It is not just stationery that clutters your workspace, cables and cords can also make your desk look disorganized. Invest in cable organizers to keep them out of the way.
• Declutter your computer desktop: Your computer can become just as cluttered as your physical workspace. Delete any unused files and organize your folders to keep your virtual workspace tidy.

These five small steps can get you started, but it is also important to create manageable systems for incoming items. It is likely that you will acquire more stationery, so keep that in mind while you organize your current workspace. This can mean investing in new storage solutions, or having dedicated places on your drawers for each item to prevent them from taking over your workspace.

Make sure to check out the site on Wednesday, April 12th for all the new products coming to the store, and we look forward to seeing you get involved with our Declutter Week! If you do, make sure to tag us on Facebook, Instagram or YouTube at @archerandolive, and use the hashtag #AODeclutter so we can see and share your organized workspaces!
