An unorganized workspace can impact in the efficiency. There is nothing worse than arriving at work and see countless papers spread out on the desk, stationaries out of order, business cards shuffled all over the place, plus cookies crumble from the day before between the key on your keyboard. It is simply very hard to keep motivated to do your work under these conditions. Yes, office workers are ultimately responsible for keeping their workspace nice and tidy; however, it is important they have the right tools to do so. After all, everybody is very busy, and organizing can be time consuming.   

The good news is, most of the necessary items to keep the workspace organized are inexpensive and very easy to set up, so there is no excuse to not have the ideal conditions in the office workspace. The key is to optimize the space. With the rising real estate cost, companies tend to reduce the individual working areas. If the person is working from home, he or she might not have a designated space to work. All these reasons make organization in the workspace essential for a productive environment.
