Hi. I’m Heather, the COO and co-owner of Queen of To Do.
A cluttered desk doesn’t just take up space; it takes up mental energy.
A few intentional systems can help you keep your workspace clear and keep you on track.

1. If it doesn’t get used every day, it doesn’t live on the desk.
One of the biggest sources of desk clutter is items that don’t belong there.
Ask yourself: Do I use this daily? If not, it can be filed, stored in a drawer, or donated.
2. Contain the small stuff.
Paper clips, chargers, sticky notes- these little items can create visual clutter quickly.
Use drawer-insert organizers, cable clips, and/or small bins to give them a designated home.
When everything has a place, clutter is less likely to build.
3. Keep just ONE personal item on your desk.
We love photos and plants, but too many personal items can start to compete for your attention span.
Select one (or two) things that make you happy and keep the rest elsewhere.
4. Limit yourself to one cup.
We've definitely all been guilty of collecting coffee mugs and water bottles throughout the day.
Commit to one cup at a time. It’s a simple way to keep your desk feeling clear and intentional (plus, fewer dishes).
Small changes = a clear mind.
An organized desk doesn’t just look better, it's proven to help you work more efficiently and reduce stress during the day.
