Keeping an Inbox in Place

Paper-Box

We all have many paper inboxes, and many people do not have a physical one on the table. You need one fixed place for the papers to keep. Otherwise, the papers will pile up all over the existing documents on your table.

Have a Trash Can

If you have to get up from your desk to throw away the trash, then it is too far away. Make sure that you can easily reach the trash from your chair and throw the trash.

Minimize Paper from coming 

Paper-Shred

Stop the incoming paper, and at least minimize it to the extent possible. Eliminate unnecessary subscriptions, reduce the number of reports and memos. If you don’t need something in hard copy, then stop coming to the table.

Remove Unnecessary Clutter

Do you need all the office accessories laying all over your table? Unless they serve a specific purpose, remove them off your work surface. You don’t need to go to the extreme of creating a workspace, but if you are not using it, remove the mess off your desk.

Regular Cleaning

If you have not cleaned the desk in a month, it could take you a few hours to clean. However, if you clean it regularly and daily, it should only take a few moments. Avoid building dirt and start organizing the time by scheduling time each day.

Never Put Paper and Trash down

Whether it is a piece of paper and a food wrapper, never put the paper and trash down. Get in the habit of putting the paper and wrapper in the trash can.

A Picture

Picture

Do you have items on your table and desk that are just for reference? A battery or ink cartridge that are needed to be replaced?

Throw It Out when in Doubt

Scan
