Mid Year Reset

Mid-Year Reset: Organise, Declutter and Refresh Your Creative Space
We’ve officially hit the halfway point of the year. If your desk is starting to look like a stationery explosion or your craft shelf is threatening to collapse, don’t worry—you’re not alone.

It’s is the perfect time to slow down and reset. A fresh, tidy workspace can do wonders for your motivation, whether you’re studying, journaling, working from home or crafting up a storm.

In this guide, we’re sharing easy ways to declutter, refresh and reorganise your space, using practical tools and clever supplies you’ll find at PNA. Let’s get you set up for a strong, creative second half of the year.

Clear the Clutter

Start with the chaos. Pull everything out—yes, everything—and sort it into three piles: keep, toss, and store.

Toss anything broken, dried out or beyond saving (yes, that old marker with the fuzzy tip).
Store seasonal or once-in-a-while tools in a box or basket so they’re out of the way.
Keep the things you actually use weekly, and make space for them to live neatly.

Find it at PNA:

• Clear plastic storage containers with clip lids
• Desktop trays and stackable organisers
• Drawer dividers for small stationery like paper clips, thumb tacks and erasers

Reorganise Like a Pro

Now that you’ve cleared the decks, it’s time to give everything a home.

If you’re constantly digging for highlighters, scissors or your favourite pen, a bit of smart storage will save you time (and sanity).

Try this:

• Use a rotating caddy or desktop organiser to keep your most-used tools in arm’s reach
• Store your washi tapes, stickers and glue sticks in a multi-compartment craft box
• Use A4 document wallets or zip pouches to group project papers or creative briefs

PNA has stylish stationery organisers, labelled boxes, and foldable storage crates in fun colours that make even tidying feel creative.

Refresh Your Stationery

Sometimes, a new pen or notebook is all it takes to feel re-inspired. Treat yourself to a mini stationery haul to keep things fresh and functional.

Top picks at PNA right now:

• Pilot G2 gel pens and Frixion erasable pens
• Staedtler Triplus Fineliners in pastel and rainbow colour packs
• Hardcover notebooks and dotted bullet journals
• Sticky notes, washi tape and highlighters in mood-boosting shades

Make it fun. Choose colours and textures you love. Use different pens for different projects. Get a pencil case you’ll actually want to carry around. Little upgrades go a long way.

Create a Motivation Station

A tidy workspace is great—but a motivating one is even better. Use a corner of your desk or a wall to keep your goals, ideas and to-do lists front and centre.

Build yours with these from PNA:

• Cork boards or magnetic whiteboards
• Bullet journals or weekly tear-off planners
• Coloured sticky tabs to track goals or project stages
• Mini pegboards to hang reminders, prints or inspiration cards

This is your space. Make it feel like you. Add a quote that fires you up. Stick up your favourite photo. Use colours and stationery that make you want to sit down and get things done.

Add Comfort and Colour

Don’t forget the vibes. Small changes can make your space feel ten times more inviting.

Try adding:

• A fresh pack of coloured felt-tip pens for brainstorming or doodling
• A new desk pad to protect your table and add colour
• A soft mousepad with a fun design
• A mini pencil holder or stationery mug in your favourite colour

At PNA, you’ll even find mini clip-on LED lights, motivational sticker packs, and desk organisers with built-in phone holders—because function and fun can go hand-in-hand.

The Mid-Year Refresh, Sorted

It doesn’t take much to transform a cluttered corner into a creative zone you want to spend time in. Whether you’re crafting, studying, bullet journaling or running a business, a quick refresh can make all the difference.

So, take the opportunity this July to pause, reset and give your space a little love.

Pop into your nearest PNA and pick up everything you need—from smart storage and colour-coded notebooks to pens that make writing a joy. You’ll walk out with more than just supplies. You’ll walk out with a fresh mindset, ready to take on the second half of the year.
