Everyone welcome back to my channel if you haven't been here before I'm Rachel
So I'm in my new place now
And it is so much better than the last place that I was living
I've got big windows everywhere, so it's nice and bright and I can decorate it however
I like basically because we don't have any housemates this time
It's just over 9 I'm going to try to get an apartment 2 up for you guys next week it just depends one Buyer can
Finish unpacking all of his things into his separate room that he has but fingers crossed that I can get it up next week
so in this video
I'm going to be showing you another one of my minimalism series, and this one is going to be on office desk space
so because I'm a
University student
and I'm trying to run our business and everything I do have to spend a lot of time at my desk and a lot of
Time on the computer
Some of the stuff I get is paperwork
And I'll show you how to sort through that and I
Try to keep things digital
And I think I might have to do a whole separate video [just] for how to keep organized digitally because that's all separate world
But in this one
I'm going to show you my desk space and how I like to keep things organized and meet I will tell you guys as well
Because I've had a few people hating on my makeup culling video. That's not minimalist enough for them I
Wouldn't call myself someone who could live out of a backpack. I couldn't do it. I like to have makeup
I like to have things to make the place look nice, but I don't want to earn things
I'm not going to use I don't want to learn anything
That's just cluttering up the space
And I don't want to learn things that I have to clean when they're not necessary if you do like this video
I'd love it. If you'd give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel
Now I was thinking for the next part of the minimalism series a lot of people have been asking for lounge room and a lot
Of people have been asking [for] kitchen as well, so if you have a preference let me know in the comments
So I know which one that I should start working on for you guys and let's jump into it
Keeping your desk clean will create a clear environment it will discourage
Procrastination enhance your creativity and help you find the things you need a lot easier
to maintain a minimalist desk disposal recycle things immediately
Organized with boxes or trays have a sorting folder and clean as soon as possible
I
Have my wacom intuos 5 my keyboard my mouse on the other side of the desk
We have a cactus in a concrete planter which I made some pens and a box full of things that I use really frequently
So we've got a notepad a battery charger hard drive all that sort of thing
the [pens] that I always keep around are just a regular pen that has a stylus on one end a felt-tip pen a
gel pen an
Erasable pen and the retouching stylus from my wacom
Okay, now you're going to ask yourself
What job does it have how often do you use it and can it be removed or just stored digitally?
I know it's not the prettiest, but it's important to have an ergonomic chair
This is going to help stop you from getting back eggs. Neck aches and headaches from working on your computer
To keep your cords out of the way and not on the floor and looking messy
what I like to do is grab [a] power board and either place double sided tape or just the hanging strips on the back of
It and then we're going to stick it underneath the desk
Everything is up and out of the way
Any documents that are easily replaceable you should take photos of and store them in a cloud because we're not going to keep the paper
form
Anything you do have to keep like birth certificates
Marriage certificates any of that sort of thing pop it into this kind of folder any mail
That's not yet. Sorted place that in the front of the folder so that you can get back to it later
Because I'm a unI student sometimes I want to keep my notebooks
Just in case I need to look back over them, so I just place them in these boxes on my windowsill
Always try to keep a clear desktop even if you only do this once a week just clear everything off
And there just a few [little] tips of how to organize your workspace
I
Hope that was able to inspire you guys of like a way to set up your desk. Go ahead and just keep it more
organized if you want to keep up [to] date with how I'm decorating my place sort of as I'm going you can jump on my
Instagram, and I'll put little sneaky pictures up there
But yes, the apartment tour will be coming soon. I promise
And thank you guys so much for watching I'll see you next time
