National Clean Your Desk Day is an annual event that takes place on the third Monday of January. The event encourages individuals to declutter and organize their workspaces, with the goal of increasing productivity and reducing stress.

Participants are encouraged to clear their desks of any unnecessary items, file away important documents, and create a more functional and efficient workspace. Many companies and organizations also use this day as an opportunity to hold office-wide clean-up events, where employees work together to declutter and organize common areas such as break rooms and conference rooms.

Participating in National Clean Your Desk Day can help you stay organized and focused, improve your productivity and makes you feel better. Some people also find that a clean and organized work environment can help reduce stress and improve overall well-being.

How to Observe Clean Off Your Desktop Day

1. Gather all of the items on your desktop and sort them into piles, such as documents, pictures, and files.
2. Go through each pile and determine which items you no longer need or haven't used in a while. Move these items to the trash or recycle bin.
3. For the remaining items, organize them into folders and label them accordingly. This will make it easier to find them later.
4. Once your desktop is empty, take a few minutes to clean it with a damp cloth.
5. Finally, make a commitment to keeping your desktop organized on an ongoing basis by regularly reviewing and deleting unnecessary files, and keeping things in labeled folders.

And also try to stick to this new clean organization and limit the amount of new files or items you will put on it.
