Many are unaware of the popularity of renting a desk. Desks are super helpful, and can bring excitement to your otherwise boring work and student life.

And if you already have an interesting life, who says you can’t spice it up further? There are effortless ways to help maintain a clean and organized desk, especially if you change apartments or living spaces often.

To learn about the specifics, continue to read below.

What it is

To start off, let us get a good grasp on what having a rental desk even entails.

Basically, it is when people working for various, unrelated companies rent desks for either a day, week, or month. It is common ground for those who usually work from home, or have offices not in their city.

Sometimes, it is intended for those who cannot work effectively in large, busy areas, and therefore allots them to be in a more intimate, quiet atmosphere.

Additionally, college students can rent desks as part of furniture packages to work more easily from home in their off-campus study space during the school year.

Keep it simple

If constantly moving and changing desks, then this will definitely be a common guideline for you. Your goal is to keep your desk as simple as possible given it is only temporary, not permanent.

This way, when you move or change desks, it is simpler to clean and store everything away. Plus, it is not necessary to set out framed photos, knickknacks, and a flower pot. Unless you truly want to transfer everything, which you most likely do not.

The time extent of how long you have this desk really plays in to what you end up doing with it. If it is a months’ worth, then you can make it somewhat more cozy, as opposed to it being solely rented for a solid day.

The idea is to keep the desk simple so that it does not kill you to move everything and that you do not have useless things surrounding you. No one wants that.

Have mobile accessories

This is probably the best way for an organized desk because it helps with items you do not need. Basically, why have a million accessories when you need about two of them at any specific time? No good reason.

It is smart to store what you do need in a shoebox, or something similar. These items can and should include a stapler, tape dispenser, sticky notes, pens, and definitely Wite-Out.

Of course this really depends on what your job or study needs are specifically, but I do not think you can go wrong with some staples and highlighters. They are always helpful and needed in life. Trust me.

It makes your desk super organized because they do not have to sit out 24/7, and they actually have a place where they belong. None of them should be too heavy to move either because there are only a few items in general. So easy for desk hopping.

Minimal is better

This can closely relate to having close to zero items on your desk, but it also can mean with workload. In other terms, if you are renting per day, bring enough work for that day so as to not be overwhelmed, but also so you are not leaving work on your desk for the next day.

You do not need an entire calendar for the year, an extra pair of shoes, or six excess binders. There is really no need for any of that, unless the day comes where you actually need one of them. In that case, run to the nearest drugstore, or sweat it out and worry about it the following day. No worries.

This helps keep your desk very organized because once again, there is not a ton to move at the end of your lease. This is really the whole point because no one wants to waste time moving various desk items every day. Literally, every day.

Given these rental desks are intended for people to not be easily stressed and to help them focus, why have a disarray of desk clutter? There is no need for it. This way, the less, all the more.

Although renting a desk may still sound super irregular and strange to you, they are very useful for many people. Especially if you like quiet environments and really must get work done on a daily basis.

It is obvious how to stay organized desk-wise, but imperative for many different reasons. You should want to keep it simple, purchase easy-to-move accessories, and keep a small amount of items overall.

This way, moving from your rental desk is easy, cooperative and manageable.
