Hi Ubaidurrehman, 



Happy Thursday! Welcome back to Mosh Bytes.



This week, I want to share a simple yet powerful tip that has significantly improved my productivity and focus: keeping a clean workspace.



Let me give you a peek into my setup. My desk is always tidy, with only the essentials within reach. When

I'm working, my workspace is just as clean. I have very few tabs open at any point in time, usually only the ones I need for the task at hand. I've noticed that a clean, organized workspace helps me stay focused and reduces distractions.



Contrast this with what I've seen from some people: their desks are cluttered with papers, gadgets, and other items, creating a chaotic environment. Their digital workspace is just as chaotic, with a million windows and tabs open, constantly switching back and forth. It's no wonder they struggle to stay focused! Someone whose desk is chaotic like this probably has a similar mindset and thought process, and the code they produce is likely to be messy too.



Here's how you can make a clean workspace work for you:



* 



**Declutter Your Desk:** Keep only the items you need for your current task on your desk. Everything else should be stored away.



* 



**Limit Open Windows/Tabs:** Only keep the tabs open that are directly related to your current

work. Close or bookmark others for later.



* 



**Use Multi-Desktop Features:** Both macOS and Windows have multi-desktop features that allow you to group windows related to a specific task. This way, when you're working on that task, you only have what you need in front of you. Here are tutorials for using this feature on Mac https://codewithmosh.emlnk9.com/lt.php?x=41Zy~GE
