Essentials for a well-organised office after the summer holidays 

After a well-deserved holiday, it’s crucial to return to work in an environment that promotes productivity and well-being. An organised office plays a key role in this transition by fostering clarity of mind, reducing stress, and enhancing efficiency.  

Here are some essential tips to kickstart your return: 

1. Use a board to clearly structure, plan, and visualise 

Whether you choose a whiteboard or a cork board, it’s the perfect tool for organising your ideas and meetings. Jot down tasks, goals, or important information. 

2. Treat yourself 

Having the right equipment can make a significant difference when working from home or in a traditional office. Match your work tools to your personal preferences to not only boost your productivity but also create a workspace where you feel comfortable and in control. 

• For quick notes, bullet lists, or annotations on important document pages, sticky notes are your best friend. You can even use them for personal reminders on your fridge. 

• Bic pens are more than just writing instruments—they’re fun items and even collectibles for some! With a comfortable grip and smooth ink flow, they’re perfect for quick notes or longer writing tasks. 

• For document organisation and categorisation, labels and folders prevent you from spending hours searching for lost papers! 

• Consider a traditional desk pad that provides a workspace for noting memos, scribbling ideas, or simply resting your wrists away from the keyboard. 

3. Make the right impression 

Encouraging regular cleaning and reducing clutter promotes a positive organisational culture. At Lyreco, we offer sustainable cleaning and storage solutions that support these efforts, helping you to create a pleasant and eco-friendly workplace for yourself and your colleagues. 

4. Prepare for travel 

Before heading to a client meeting or starting a home working day, carefully prepare all essentials. Use a travel bag with specific compartments for your laptop, cables, documents, and supplies. Organising your equipment efficiently ensures easy and quick access to everything you need. 

By adopting these practices and choosing the right equipment, you can turn your office into an efficient and peaceful workspace boosting productivity and well-being throughout the year.
