Printed folders may help reduce work-related stress

Printed folders are one way to help organise an office and thereby reduce employees' stress, according to one source.

An article on lfpress.com stated a messy desk is detrimental to an individual's productivity while it also contributes to their level of work-related stress.

Psychologist and psychoanalyst Scott Bishop explained: "A disorganised work area can contribute to feelings of a lack of control and interfere with our ability to plan and problem solve."

Furthermore, Clare Kumar, a professional organiser, said a tidy desk gives an individual peace of mind and a sense they are in charge of what they are doing.

The news source advised people to use colour-coded printed folders to separate documents according to different projects or subjects, as this is useful for quick recognition.

A writer for Inc.com recently noted an organised office is crucial for employee's happiness and productivity, as people lose their motivation when it is difficult to find important information.
