I am writing this as I think this may help you if you are in a similar situation as I once was. It was becoming difficult for me to increase productivity, I wasn’t able to concentrate and wasn’t producing results I wanted to produce. Then I made these small adjustments.

With that being said, you probably hear people say on a daily basis that they just don’t have enough room in their office to get organized, or their office really isn’t designed for their needs.
