Having a clean home means having a clear mind. It helps you become more concentrated and reduce stress levels (because everything has a place and you never wonder to find anything).
How to create a zen-like home environment
Clear any flat surface. The only things you should see on top of your desks and on the shelves is what you regularly use. This usually means pens and books. Everything else can be easy to find in drawers, hidden from your eyes. A minimalistic room creates a simple and relaxing atmosphere.

Don’t put too many things in one place. A shelf that has books should only have books. Your computer desk should only have a computer and printer, not your monitor cleaning spray, not magazines and newspapers.
Create a place for everything and put everything in its place. Try to store books in one corner of the room, on a particular shelf. Place incoming prints, papers or documents in a particular drawer. Don’t mix up your possessions, unless you want ot mix up your mind.
Zen is all about simplicity
Simplify any part of your life that you can. This applies to more than home or office organization. It applies to your way of thinking, to your social contacts, to your business. Less is always more because you reduce what’s unimportant and only leave what you need.

would be nice if this also works in our secretarial.

An organized office looks much more professional, especially when clients are invited – it makes great impressions of the people who work in it.
The environment is neat and clean.. And it just looks like a stress free place..
