Ah, the desk. Is there any place better for an intellectual to work? The pen of the writer, the pencil of the engineer, the papers of the taxpayer \u2014 all find their heavens at the desk. So it goes to reason that cleaning up and organizing your desk is a very important idea. We\u2019re going to start with some very basic tips, but they could make all the difference if you keep up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Removing the papers and other objects until you can actually see all of your desk\u2019s surfaces. Make piles on the floor of EVERYTHING except the computer components, telephone, and desktop pad or organizer in the appropriate pile as you pick them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The phone book, stapler, pens & pencils, tape, etc. go into \u201cThings that Need to be Handy\u201d. Check the date and topic on each item as you pick it up. If it is out of date, no longer an issue, or no longer needed, pitch it in the recycling bin. Put things that belong to other people in the \u201csomewhere else\u201d pile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
