Have a home office.

Having a home office is one of the best ways to ensure that you’re working in an organized, productive environment. It’s also great for getting work done when you’re on the go or traveling.

If you don’t have an actual office yet, consider purchasing a small desk and chair at Ikea or another local furniture store that sells used furniture on Craigslist (like I did). You can usually find deals there if they’ve been around for awhile and aren’t too expensive. Then just get yourself some blank papers and pens/pencils!

Get a standing desk.

A standing desk can help you stay productive, but it also allows you to be more active during the day. You’ll be able to move around more and get some exercise in. Plus, if your office is close to a bathroom or kitchen, sitting all day will probably lead to back pain and other problems down the road.

A standing desk gives people the option of walking around while working—which helps them stay on task and prevents burnout—and reduces stress levels as well!

Throw out your outdated office chair.

You might be surprised to learn that you can still get a lot done in your workspace, even if it’s not the most high-tech or cutting-edge facility. The trick is to use all of the tools at your disposal (and there are many).

One of these tools is an outdated office chair—the kind with a motorized reclining mechanism, which allows you to put it in forward and back positions. This is an outdated technology because it requires electricity and uses up space on desks; however, these chairs have served their purpose for decades and will continue doing so for years into the future.

So what should you do with them? If they’re functional but not ergonomic enough for today’s modern needs—or if they just don’t look good enough anymore—then throw them out!

Use task lighting to light your space.

If you’re like me, you probably find yourself in a space where it’s not always easy to see what’s on your desk or workstation. The best way to combat this problem is by using task lighting so that everything is visible and easily accessible. Task lights are great because they provide extra light for working in low-light conditions and can help keep your workspace looking clean and organized.

  • Make sure there are no shadows on the wall behind your monitor

  • Use a clip-on lamp that hangs from above the desk or table (like this one)

Use motivational quotes and images in your workspace.

  • Use motivational quotes and images in your workspace.

  • Keep a journal of your progress, with notes about the benefits you’ve experienced from working in an organized space.

  • Set up a meeting room for yourself or others to meet regularly to discuss goals, ideas and plans for the future.

Staple clothes so you never lose anything important.

Storing your clothes in a drawers or hanging on hooks is just not going to cut it. You need a system that will keep everything organized and neat, so you can find what you need quickly.

Here are some tips for keeping all of your things in order:

  • Hang up each pair of shoes by their laces, so they’re easily visible at a glance. This also means that if there’s a hole in the shoe (which is more likely than most people realize) then you’ll know right away!

  • Store shirts and pants together by type—jeans with sweatshirts, dresses with skirts—because this makes it easy for me to see what kind of clothing I have before I go shopping (and saves money).

Keep clutter at bay by setting up a filing system.

Your workspace should be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. To do this, keep your office organized with filing systems. A good filing system will help you find things quickly and efficiently, which means you can get more done in less time.

In addition to being an efficient way to store documents and other items on site (like paper clips), filing systems can also serve as a place for storing important information that might otherwise be scattered around the office or on documents themselves—and it doesn’t have to just be for paperwork! Here are some examples:

  • Keep track of what needs to be done next; this could include any project deadlines or upcoming tasks within your current job position.

  • Store photos of clients or customers so they’re easily accessible when needed; otherwise they may end up getting lost amid piles of papers…or worse yet: forgotten entirely!

Install height adjustable shelves to prevent neck strain.

  • Install height adjustable shelves to prevent neck strain.

  • Ensure that your desk is at a comfortable height for you, especially if you’re going to be spending long hours looking at your computer screen or working on the computer. If it feels too low and causes pain in your neck or back, then move it up!

Grab file dividers that can hide or display your documents, too.

  • Grab file dividers that can hide or display your documents, too.

  • Use a timer and a stopwatch to help you remember when to work on different projects.

  • Keep a trashcan handy so that you don’t have to look for it every time you need one.

Take ergonomic tests to find the correct place to sit and stand while you work.

One of the most important things you can do to improve your productivity is to find the right place to sit and stand while you work.

A lot of people think that their desks are designed for them, but this isn’t true. The way we sit and stand has a huge impact on our performance, so it’s important that we take ergonomic tests before choosing areas in which we will spend our time.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years working with hundreds of startups, it’s this: People are not machines or animals—they’re human beings who need good health if they want success in any area of life!

Clear out the clutter on your desk; having too much stuff is a distraction, not an advantage!

When you have a cluttered desk, it’s hard to focus on the task at hand. You might be tempted to spend time looking at emails and other distractions instead of working on your project.

The first step is to clear out unnecessary items from your workspace. Here are some things to consider:

  • Remove any furniture that’s no longer needed or doesn’t serve a purpose—take it off the floor!

  • Unplug everything cable-related (if possible) so that they don’t get in the way while you work; this will also help keep those cords organized and neat in one place instead of all over the place like they tend too be when we’re not using them regularly…
