With so many people working from home, being organised is more important than ever. Here, Sophia Le, avid bullet journaller, self-confessed neat-freak, and ambassador for Pilot Pen Australia, shares her top tips on desk organisation for the year ahead.

Make your space work for you
Design and organise your desk in a way that is not only pleasing to the eye but based on your natural workflow. Place your most used items at the centre of your desk so they are at arm’s reach the moment you sit down.

Motivation / inspiration board
When working in the same space every day, especially for those working from home, it is easy to get bored and lose motivation before your day has even started. Put together an inspiration board filled with photos, motivational quotes and souvenirs to help re-centre and focus on what you need to work on, but also why you need to show up and do the work!

Bring the outside in
Find yourself wishing you were outside constantly? Create a calm, green space you want to work in by adopting a plant family that will remind you that great things take time as they grow and change each day.

Track your goals
Creating a simple tracker page helps you stick to your work and personal goals, whether it be building healthy habits like drinking more water or seeing how close you are to saving enough money for a holiday. Not only do you get instant gratification every time you mark something off but you also get a clearer idea of the progress you’ve made.

Schedule in breaks
It is important to also make time for yourself to make the most of your day. Make sure your block out time in your diary for lunch, a walk, or a quick stretch. This gives you the opportunity to set expectations of what you can realistically do in one day, manage your energy levels, re-evaluate your priorities and increase productivity overall.

Frixion pens are available at Big W, Officeworks and independent stationery suppliers.
