Books are placed horizontally and vertically on the table, pens of all kinds are thrown around, file folders are stacked haphazardly, and dust fills the gaps between various items... Many people simply "dig" out a place to work or study. However, among these messy items and accumulated dust, health risks lie hidden.
Professor Shen Zheng from the Psychology Department of Peking University analyzed that disliking tidying up one's desk is related to a person's long-term living habits, inherent personality, and psychological laziness. Some people deliberately do this to relieve inner stress. However, a cluttered, dusty desk can make people's thoughts disorganized and produce feelings of irritability. It can unconsciously disturb the brain's thinking process, affecting work efficiency and intellectual performance. If desks are closely spaced, a messy desk can also affect others' vision and work mood.
"If dust often accumulates on your desk, it can easily affect air quality."
