Although some people thrive in messy environments, desk clutters are often the reason we cannot concentrate on our work properly. Having our files stacked everywhere reduces our efficiency especially when we forget which files are where.

The best way to de-clutter our desks is to store everything away and just keep those that we are actively using nearby, neatly ordered in a box organizer. We have selected five great box organizers for offices that would make accessing your files handy and easy.
