7 Ways To Get Your Desk Clean And Keep It That Way!

I‘m always on the lookout for articles with the potential to positively change a business. What’s your take on the following points I came across recently?

Here are some guidelines to help keep that desk clean:

Keep things in reach. Resources, files and other items you use on a daily basis should be within arms reach. If you keep a telephone book on your desk, but use an online directory, then the phone book needs to go. 

Create a system. Organise your current projects by placing them in project jackets, poly file folders or other manila folders. Take the time to label each file and store them upright in an incline sorter. This is a great way to avoid piles of files and allows you to visually see all of your projects. Now you have a system that will help you maintain your clean desk.

Get rid of distractions. Between people stopping by your office, your phone ringing, email coming in at a steady pace and keeping up with appointments and meetings, it’s no wonder it’s such a feat to maintain a clean desk. To simplify, get rid of excess personal items, including things that need to return to home. You should also pay close attention to the space under your desk as it’s often an easy hiding place for clutter. These distractions will only keep you from your goal of obtaining a clean desk.

I’d be really interested to know your opinion. Check out the full article here and then I’d be happy to discuss with you by phone (0403) 585-874 or email [email protected].
