Spring is in the air, and that means we can look forward to better weather, outdoor activities, and cleaning. Spring has long been connected with the process of cleaning out the places we visit and use so often – our homes, our vehicles, our offices, and other places of business, and so forth. And, because of modern technology, many law firm owners can work from home, and so many firm owners have home offices that they operate throughout the year. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the use of a home office to run your business. Here are a few ways to keep your home office neat; perhaps you can think about these tips while cleaning your office for Spring cleaning.
Create a Routine
If you’re looking to keep your home office neat, one of the best things you can do is create a routine emphasizing cleanliness and order. Often, offices become messy because people forget to place things correctly when they get busy. While this is easy enough to understand, try to overcorrect this tendency and establish a strict routine to avoid clutter and disorder. For instance, make it a habit to clear off your desk at the end of each workday; or, make it a habit to always place a file in the correct place after using it.

Establish a No Drinks and No Food Policy
This one is big. One reason home offices become dirty is that people place drinks and food all around them. Not only can this create clutter and disorganization, but it can also leave crumbs. If you establish a “no drinks and no food” policy, you will be well on your way to maximizing the neatness of your home office. Mind you, this will take willpower. It’s always tempting to enjoy a cup of coffee or candy bar at your desk. However, if you overcome this temptation, you will do a lot to ensure your home office stays clean.
Hire a Professional Cleaner
Although this will require a bit of funding, another way you can maximize neatness is to hire a professional cleaner to assist you. Of course, you don’t have to do this often; perhaps you could hire a cleaner to help you once every two months. However, a professional cleaner can end up doing a great deal toward creating a maximally clean and organized home office. And the reason is that professional cleaners are trained to find every conceivable piece of dust and dirt. They will be able to help you stay as organized and orderly as possible.
