Delete what you don’t need
The first step to applying the KonMari method in your office is to get rid of what you don’t need. Go through your drawers, filing cabinets and shelves, and discard anything that no longer serves you. This can include old papers, magazines, old meeting notes, pens that no longer work, and anything else you don’t need in your day-to-day life.
Sort by categories
Once you’ve eliminated what you don’t need, it’s time to start sorting by category. Marie Kondo recommends starting with clothes, and in your office you can start with the papers. Group papers by category, such as invoices, reports, notes, and correspondence, and then sort each category by date or importance.
Create a filing system
Create a effective filing system is key to keeping your office organized. Use filing cabinets, boxes, or folders to organize your papers, and label each one clearly so you can find what you need quickly. You can too digitize your documents to save space and facilitate access to them.
Keep your desk clutter free
It’s important to keep your desk free of clutter so you can focus on your work. Marie Kondo recommends keeping only the essentials on your desk, like a computer, phone, and a few basic supplies. Anything else that you do not need in your day to day should be stored in a designated place.

Just like at home, Marie Kondo recommends thank your office objects. Giving thanks for your work supplies can help you appreciate what you have and focus on your work more effectively.
