clean desk
Uncluttered work surface
A clean desk is a workspace free of clutter, papers, and unnecessary items.
The term often appears in corporate contexts as a clean desk policy—a rule requiring employees to clear their desks at the end of each workday, typically for security or professional appearance.
Some people swear by a clean desk for productivity; others find it sterile and uninspiring.
