Mar 21, 2025
I never thought a messy desk was holding me back—until it hit me.
One afternoon, feeling completely foggy and overwhelmed, I glanced around and realised: my workspace was a disaster. Papers everywhere, empty coffee cups, random sticky notes… no wonder I couldn’t focus. So, I tried something different. I gave myself just one minute to clear the chaos.
And honestly? That one-minute desk declutter trick changed everything.
Here’s exactly what I did (and what you can do too):
π Set a 60-Second Timer
This wasn’t a deep clean. I gave myself one minute—quick, doable, no excuses.
ποΈ Toss What’s Useless
Old papers, last week’s to-do lists, random clutter—gone. Anything I didn’t need got cleared.
π Organise the Essentials
I stacked my notebooks, lined up my pens, and gave everything a “home.” It felt instantly lighter.
πΏ Breathe… and Notice the Shift
The moment I looked at my tidy desk, I could feel my brain unclutter. It’s wild how fast it works.
π Now I Do It Every Day
At the end of each workday, I take one minute to reset my space. I come back the next morning focused, calm, and ready to go.
If you’re feeling scattered, try this simple one-minute desk reset. It’s quick, easy, and it might just transform your productivity like it did mine.
