A functional home office rarely becomes cluttered all at once. In my experience, it’s usually a series of small habits, like papers left out, supplies drifting into piles, and cords that never quite make it back to their spot, that slowly chip away at how the space works. Over time, that friction affects focus, productivity, and even motivation. In practice, keeping things running smoothly doesn’t require constant organizing or big seasonal overhauls. What I’ve found works best are simple resets that fit naturally into real life. These resets are small, repeatable actions that prevent clutter from gaining momentum. When done consistently, they keep a home office feeling calm, supportive, and easy to maintain. Here are the five simple resets I use to keep a home office working smoothly all year long: The weekly desk reset The monthly paper and digital declutter The supply zone reset The seasonal storage check The end-of-day five-minute reset If your home office has been feeling a little harder to manage lately, you’re not alone. Keep reading and you’ll have a straightforward rhythm you can start using right away, without needing to reorganize your entire space.
