When was the last time you cleaned your desk? Can you even manage to navigate the pile of papers, pens, paper clips, post-it notes, and other important and unimportant things that you carelessly place on it and then forget about? When was the last time you wiped down and disinfected your desk?
If you can't answer this question because you don't know the answer to it, then it's a good time to organize and clean your desk during a time of lack of will, desire, and inspiration to work. Throw away all unnecessary papers and documents, arrange what you need on it, and put the rest in drawers.
Speaking of drawers, when was the last time you cleaned them? If you have ghana whatsapp list time than you should and are already in the mood to clean, it might be a good time to organize your drawers and cabinets. You'll be happy and grateful to yourself for the effort and time you put into it.
Clean your laptop and phone
Inside and out. Did you know that there are approximately 10 times more bacteria on a computer than on a toilet seat? How could it not be when you type with dirty hands, eat breakfast on your laptop, and never leave your phone. For this very reason, it is important to clean your laptop and phone at least occasionally and disinfect them with wet wipes for that purpose.
And while we're at it, it's not a bad idea to take a look inside and get rid of unwanted images, documents, reminders, apps, and games that we thought we'd need at some point, quickly forgot about, and now they're just taking up space and draining our battery.
Clean up your email inbox
I have to say that a few days ago I was diligent and deleted over 2000 emails from my inbox. That's how many I had, and I didn't need them at all. A cluttered inbox is something that can successfully drive a person crazy, especially when you can't find what you're looking for and when you're saving everything you've ever received, and it's completely clear to you that it's of no use.
So arm yourself with patience and organize your email. Create folders for your emails to make it easier to find them later. Organize your emails by category or by the names of the people who sent them. Delete what you don't need, star what is necessary and important. Clean out your trash and spam folder. You'll be surprised how much more productive and organized you'll suddenly be.
Unsubscribe from newsletters you don't need.
Many people don't even know how they ended up on a list that persistently delivers newsletters to their inbox, and they're not even interested. Sometimes we subscribe without thinking or because the subscription opens up some benefit in the form of a discount in a web shop or a free e-book, guide or research, and because of all the obligations we forget to unsubscribe.
Meanwhile, newsletters keep coming in, and your inbox is filled with content that doesn't interest you. Why not put an end to that and, in moments of lack of will to do concrete work, tackle unwanted newsletters? Study which ones you're subscribed to and click unsubscribe without a guilty conscience . Your inbox will thank you.
Read something useful
Are you like me, diligently saving links and articles that interest you because you don't have time to read them, and then never read them because you forget about them? Then you find them in your favorites or in Flipboard on your phone, and you no longer know when you saved them or why, you just know that you didn't read them.
When you're not feeling like it and you're not pressed for time, it's a good idea to take a look at what you've saved, saved, and haven't read. Organize your articles, delete the ones you don't like or are no longer interested in, and learn something new from the ones that are useful to you and take notes.
