Spring Organisation – A Simple Guide to a Fresh Start

Spring is here, bringing fresh energy and a desire for a new beginning. But before jumping into deep cleaning, let’s talk about something just as important—organising.

At Kartotek Copenhagen, we believe that organising isn’t just about tidying up. It’s about creating space for what truly matters, making everyday life lighter, smoother, and more joyful. A clear desk means a clear mind. A structured planner means less stress and more creativity.

So, let’s start fresh! We’ve put together a simple guide to help you bring calm and order into your daily life—with a little help from our favourite organising tools.

Step 1: Declutter Your Desk

Before adding new systems, remove what you don’t need. Sort through papers, clear out old notes, and free up space.

✨ Try this: Use our Folding Crates to separate items into your preferred categories like 'writing tools', 'desk accessories', or 'office supplies'. What makes most sense to you. This keeps everything manageable and stylish at the same time.

Step 2: Find a Home for Everything

A cluttered desk isn’t just messy—it’s distracting. Keep only the essentials on your workspace.

📌 Our must-haves:

• Pen & Pencil Holders: Keep your go-to writing tools within reach.
• Storage Caddy: Perfect for organising small office supplies.
• Desk Organiser: Sort notebooks, planners, and loose papers neatly.

Step 3: Plan for Productivity

Once your space is set, let’s organise your time. A good planner isn’t just about writing down tasks—it’s about creating structure in your day, so you feel more in control and less overwhelmed.

🗓️ Our picks for planning:

• Daily Planners – Focus on the essentials for each day.
• Weekly Overview – Get a clear picture of your week ahead.
• To-Do Lists – Break down tasks into small, achievable steps.

Step 4: Make It a Habit

A beautiful, organised space only works if it stays that way. Set aside 5 minutes at the end of each day to tidy up and update your planner.

Spring is the perfect time for fresh starts. Let’s declutter, organise, and create a space where inspiration flows effortlessly.
