精简生活小招

Tidy up your desk

整理办公桌

Do you find it difficult to work on your desk or find office supplies when you need them?

是不是觉得桌上乱得无法做事？是不是在需要时怎么也翻不到某个物品？

Remove old sticky notes, outdated papers and notes,junk mail, magazines, as well as any obvious trash and wrappers from your workspace.

那就赶紧清理掉办公室里的过期便利贴、纸头便条、垃圾邮件、杂志，还有各种碍眼的杂物和包装纸吧。

Corral office supplies such as pens, paper clips and pushpins in small decorative containers, or store items in flat storage bins or trays in your desk drawers.

把铅笔、回形针、图钉等文具用品放到一个小盒子里，或者将物品归类到抽屉里的收纳盒中。

Don't forget to chuck any broken office supplies or dead plants that are on your desk or sitting in your office.

别忘了扔掉办公桌或办公室里坏掉的文具和枯死的植物！
