After months and months at home, you\u2019ve likely spent considerable time contemplating or making updates to your space \u2014 and you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s the Chinese art of feng shui, the Danish practice of hygge, or another popular method that appeals to you, different home organization styles have one thing in common: they\u2019re all clutter-free. You can bring that mentality to your digital life as well \u2014 especially after a year in which Americans experienced an increase in work-related screen time.<\/p>\n

While decluttering your home workspace, inbox, and desktop may seem overwhelming, it\u2019s something you can tackle five minutes at a time with the help of Adobe Scan and Acrobat online PDF tools on your journey toward home office space serenity.<\/p>\n

Split your tangle of organizational jobs into smaller tasks<\/h3>\n

You can\u2019t summit Everest in a few hours, so don\u2019t plan to organize everything in a single afternoon. Build out a checklist and start working your way through one item at a time:<\/p>\n

Where do you need to organize things?<\/p>\n

Desk
\nPiles of mail and other paper clutter
\nComputer desktop
\nComputer files
\nPhone<\/p>\n

What organizational jobs are part of that?<\/p>\n

Organize what needs to be saved
\nDelete or trash what doesn\u2019t<\/p>\n

From bookcases to desk drawers, organize small items like paper clips and other office supplies piecemeal to make headway. Each area you give a home organization makeover will build momentum and you\u2019ll begin feeling like a professional organizer in no time.<\/p>\n

Digitally file important papers<\/h3>\n

When you start in on your stacks of documents, don\u2019t spend time sorting every single piece of paper \u2014 all your bank statements, medical records, and tax returns \u2014 into a file cabinet. Go paperless with Adobe Scan and clear off your office desk space. This free mobile app turns your phone\u2019s camera into a scanning device so you can quickly digitize all your important paperwork.<\/p>\n

Adobe Scan saves your scanned documents as PDFs in an easily accessible online account instead of burying them in a filing cabinet. Once you scan them, you can send your paper copies to the shredder and then recycle them \u2014 tidying up your space while improving security.<\/p>\n

Take this paper organization method one day at a time to convert birth certificates, marriage certificates, insurance policies, and social security cards into easy-to-search digital backups you can access via the Acrobat online storage space from any browser, any time.<\/p>\n

Organize your digital documents<\/h3>\n

Home office organization ideas don\u2019t just apply to your physical space. An organized computer will help you stay on track and be productive, especially when you work from home. Downloads, spreadsheets, and more may litter your desktop and folders. Follow these digital organizing tips and storage ideas to stop getting distracted by file clutter:<\/p>\n

Start with structure:<\/strong> Organize your files based on how you search \u2014 by topic, project, or file type.
\nNarrow it down with subcategories:<\/strong> Create smaller groupings of folders to track down files quickly.
\nName your documents:<\/strong> Establish a consistent naming system for your files to help you easily find the right version of the right document.<\/p>\n

Take your digital filing system further by trying easy-to-use Acrobat online tools:<\/p>\n

Consolidate your files:<\/strong> Combine your files by merging smaller PDFs into comprehensive documents like monthly, or even yearly, reports.
\nReorder your PDFs:<\/strong> Organize and rearrange pages in your scanned PDF documents to ensure your content is in the right order.
\nAlign files for easy viewing:<\/strong> Don\u2019t crane your neck looking at sideways scans. Rotate PDF pages so everything\u2019s properly aligned.
\nAdd precision to your PDFs:<\/strong> Make files easier to find by splitting large PDFs into smaller documents, so you can search and find them more easily.
\nDiscard the excess mess:<\/strong> Clean up your PDFs by easily deleting duplicate, outdated, or unwanted pages.<\/p>\n

Go a step further with smartphone tidying<\/h3>\n

From photos and texts to emails and apps, one look at a chaotic phone can wash away any contentment you\u2019re feeling about having an organized home office and computer desktop. Thankfully, you can tidy up your mobile device on the go or at home.<\/p>\n

Purge the extra:<\/strong> Free up real estate on your phone by deleting ancient text conversations, unused apps, and blurry photos. Keep any digital relics that bring you joy, but the rest can \u2014 and should \u2014 go. Take the same approach to your email. Dive in and unsubscribe from any service clogging your inbox. Check your open browser tabs too and close any that are bogging you down.
\nDeclutter your phone:<\/strong> Put photos into albums so you can find them more easily. Group related apps together to clean up your home screen and make things simpler to find. Move any downloaded files, like PDFs or eBooks, to a cloud storage solution like Acrobat online.<\/p>\n

A little at a time, you can bring tranquility to large or small spaces with these DIY home office organization methods and help from Acrobat. Your organizational efforts will help bring peace of mind to your work and guide you to a more stress-free future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
