If you want detailed photos and a breakdown of what’s in the space, I’ve made a blogpost about my workspace here 🏠: https://www.modmusings.com/blog/work-from-home-office-tour-workspace-desk-update-2020

💡My Organization System is made up of 3 design principles:
1. Function – The purpose of the space
2. Flow – How easy it is to access tools
3. Familiarity – Intuitive tool placement

🔢 The Process
00:00 – Why it’s important to have an organized space
01:53 – Matthew Encina’s Organization System
02:26 – 1. Audit Your Workflow
02:49 – 2. Remove everything to assess what you have.
03:07 – 3. Reduce and simplify
03:54 – 4. Take inventory
04:06 – 5. Measure and plan out your space
04:34 – 6. Compartmentalize with more storage
05:00 – 7. Label everything
05:23 – 8. Adjust as needed
05:49 – My five minute clean up routine 🧹

    Beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰.

  4. Stop Scammers on March 11, 2023 at 7:26 am

    This is awesome work and advice, but I can see this process leading me down the rabbit hole, when it comes to creating and maintaining an inventory.

    Analysis paralysis is a pain in the ass.

  5. Vexcarius on March 11, 2023 at 7:30 am

    I’m a graphic designer and my creativity gets affected by my cluttered room. Good thing I stumbled upon this video.

  6. Marina Guerra on March 11, 2023 at 7:30 am

    He made a hand written label for a box which contains Label Maker… let that sink in.

  25. Jennifer May on March 11, 2023 at 7:53 am

    This was very helpful. Will be helping friends organize their office and needed your left brain advice. Thank you.

  26. sleepyafbro on March 11, 2023 at 7:54 am

    Links to that desk and cabinets? love it man

  27. Zoids 1145 on March 11, 2023 at 7:54 am

    Just don’t own too many things. More things you own means more responsibility. Imagine having to clean things on the shelf with loads of dust…

  28. Jan Harald on March 11, 2023 at 7:58 am

    NEVER SPRAY LENS CLEANER STRAIGHT ONTO THE LENS! Filmer here saying that your damaging your coating on the lens always use 1 and done cleaning wipes and spray onto the wipe.

  29. Brett Murphy on March 11, 2023 at 8:02 am

    Such a great video thank you for this!

  30. Robert Bryan on March 11, 2023 at 8:03 am

    Decluttering as I end the year 2022. Thanks a lot for this. As I was taking notes, I have a personal question added to ask myself when decluttering. Question #5 to add up: Does this item serve or is serving its purpose for the reason I bought it for?

  31. lando cardano on March 11, 2023 at 8:03 am

    Nearly had a stroke lookin at those drives just raw doggin’ it in that drawer

  32. Stu on March 11, 2023 at 8:04 am

    Nice James Jean notebook.

  33. Smilo on March 11, 2023 at 8:04 am

    What’s the big timer thing on your screen? Are you using that to track your total time spent working?

  34. Sunil Pai on March 11, 2023 at 8:06 am

    That Sony ericsson w810i is love 🙂 I have one too.. Somewhere in one of my drawers 😀

  35. Drôle 2parcours on March 11, 2023 at 8:06 am

    Many many thanks because I thought it was okay to have a messy workplace but as I a filmmaker I realized how much it was impacting all my work ! I defenetely need to clean some stuff ! Thank you again.

  36. The Violin No0b on March 11, 2023 at 8:06 am

    Trending aesthetic of YouTube emptiness.. More creative people on fact live in a mess like van Halen used to be..

  37. Lloyd & etc on March 11, 2023 at 8:07 am

    New sub 🙂
    Can I ask where did you get your work desk?

  38. Mart Erl on March 11, 2023 at 8:07 am

    This is a great and very much needed video. Love the breakdown for everything. I’m finally building my own work space as I will want to keep it neat and organized a and this video definitely helped a lot. Thank you! I subscribed 🫡

  39. N. Grubbs on March 11, 2023 at 8:08 am

    What’s the name of the document scanner that you use on your phone? @3:40

  40. Nigel Uno on March 11, 2023 at 8:08 am

    I think the problem is rather not enough space. Some people who only have one room to work rather than a room, work room, garage, and living room. People with limited space need to limit the amount of things they have otherwise it will be become cluttered, even with organization.

  41. Geoffrey Gamboa on March 11, 2023 at 8:11 am

    Hi Matthew Encina, I was wondering where you got your cork board like boxes in 5:14? Those boxes are really nice!

  42. Noah Watters on March 11, 2023 at 8:11 am

    You shouldnt spray the screen directly, you may damage your screen’s pixels. Instead spray the cloth and then wipe.

  43. CnoSez on March 11, 2023 at 8:14 am

    Your video was so motivational. I’m so hype to organize my new work space in my home. Thanks bro.

  44. Simple Home Art Decor Ideas on March 11, 2023 at 8:16 am

    I imagine this is my desk. will immediately messy in 5 minutes. lol

  45. ChiefComments on March 11, 2023 at 8:17 am

    i want to do this. but i literally can’t. i have so many papers lying around. my drawers suck and i’m broke. my setup is awful for productivity and work. what do i do

  46. Gedeon Nunes on March 11, 2023 at 8:17 am

    Your surname sounds exactly like the portuguese word for "teaches"

  47. Christian Colón on March 11, 2023 at 8:18 am

    Regarding the items you have hanging on the wall (cables, etc) does that stuff not get super dusty hanging there?

  48. Ayaan Ali on March 11, 2023 at 8:19 am

    I wasn’t cleaning I was hiding well I’m in more bad situation I don’t even bother to hide and now it’s too much and I’m forced to watch organising videos 😅 to save me from frustration

  49. Dr. Ferdous Mahbub on March 11, 2023 at 8:20 am

    You’re spraying cleaning agents directly onto your electronic device or screens which is bad! ( Not recommended). RTFM dude 😎

  50. LEGEND on March 11, 2023 at 8:20 am

    What’s the size of the desk ?
