If you work from home, your home office is the place where you spend majority of your time during the day. If this space is a complete mess with all kinds of stuff piled up on your desk, you know that it's doing nothing more than hurting your productivity.

Most of us go crazy when we can't find things and such craziness could be an everyday routine for a person working from a messy and cluttered home office.
I know you've been thinking about cleaning it up but have been constantly overpowered by fear, laziness and of course, procrastination. So it's time to pull up your socks and get set to rejuvenate your messy home office.

The first step should be to identify what are the most essential materials for your work. For example, a USB thumb drive or a microphone could be more important to you than that bulky printer sitting on your desk. So take a pen and paper and make a note of just the "very essential" things. Those are the things that will get placement on your desk (i.e. in plain view).
- Start with an empty room
It will be wise to start by completely removing all your belongings from the room. Once you've got an empty room you can get an idea of the vacant space and then plan the placement of different objects. You've already sorted out the most essential objects so you can start by placing them first, nearest to your desk.
