Here’s are a few useful quick-tips to avoid those piles in your work area
- Keep only those items on your desk that you use every day – stapler, calculator, phone, pencil holder, etc.
- The less often you use an item, the further from your desktop it should be stored.
- Keep personal items in one area. Then, move everything back an inch to increase workspace.
Pretty useful, don’t you think? Though it may seem like pure common sense, it’s certainly something that I could apply more often, and probably will now that I’ve read that.
