Tidying up your desk doesn't require over 10-15 minutes
You just need to give 10-15 minutes daily to clear up your workspace. In return, it will be a peaceful working experience and your productivity will improve, too. Once you start doing it on a daily basis, it will become a habit. The first step is to identify the essentials that need to be in front of you and place everything else inside.
Go through your paper files and scan the important ones
If you have countless papers piled up on your desk, scan them. Just quickly go through which papers are needed more and remove the rest. Keep the important papers inside folders and also label and segregate those files.
