A clean workspace or setup can effect a persons mental wellbeing more than people think it does.
Cause I know a lot of you don't have the cleanest setups.
You can easily go from something like this
To something like this
And just that will have an effect on your brain that will help out in the long run
Just outside of the visual part and how pretty your setup is, a clean and tidy setup/workspace can do wonders for your brain.
Talking about the aesthetic or visuals of your setup first to get it out of the way. A lot of people enjoy the look of a clean and minimal setup just because of the way it looks. Most people chase after this idea for the intention to show it off in photos or on stream as well. Or you just enjoy it and like the mood a clean setup provides you.
One of the bigger things that a clean and tidy workspace does for your brain is to give you a sense of a distraction free environment. By reducing clutter and the amount of visual noise on your desk it can help you be more focused. Your mind will be focused on what you are working or focusing on instead of focusing for example some trinket on your desk,
Taking a look at someone that has probably one of the cleanest setup I have seen in my opinion and that would Optimum Tech’s setup. A setup that perfectly follows the rule that minimizing your setup with the fewest amount of distractions makes a big difference in the long run.
Everything that he has on his desk has a purpose and there are no distractions anywhere that would help him lost focus or get distracted on his work.
Another benefit of having a clean and tidy setup is the fact that keeping things clean can effect hardware longevity and performance. Dust and grime can effect things like causing things like your computer to overheating resulting is worse performance.
Even with your mice and keyboards not only does a clean looking item look visually nice but overtime grime and dirt can effect how for example the switches in your keyboard feel or cause issues with your scroll wheel on your mouse.
A clean workspace can also effect your health as well which might to a surprise to most. A clean environment can reduce the risk of allergies, infections and disease by getting rid of dust, mold, and bacteria living on surfaces.
For some people the sight of a clean and organized workplace can help them feel more relaxed as there isn’t any visual noise around to distract them. There have been some studies that have shown that living in a cluttered environment can increase stress. The act of cleaning and seeing the end result also helps in reducing stress and depressive symptoms.
Getting a clean setup up and going is super easy. Anything that you don’t use on a day to day or even hour to hour basis keep off the desk and into a storage unit under your desk or somewhere else in your room. Some people don’t like the ultra minimal look so keep around a mood light or a plant to make the setup feel more cozy and somewhere you want to work at. and just dusting and cleaning up daily can go a long way to a distraction free and clean environment.
You can easily go from something messy to something clean and enjoyable to look at with some effort and cleaning.
