* Paper is
the problem for most people these days. If you have
financial records in five rooms, get them all together
before you start organizing.
* Filing
systems can be designed to your strengths. For
example, if you are used to working with piles and need to
see everything, try a graduated file that holds six to eight
files in front of you that you can see.
* Open
your mail over the recycling bin and have your filing system
nearby.
* Don't
put any more on your desk than what you are currently
working on. Do you have a drawer close at hand where
you can keep papers that you need frequently, but perhaps
not every day?
* Spend
the last 10 to 15 minutes of each day getting your desk in
order and ready for the start of a new day. There is
nothing more discouraging than walking in first thing in the
morning to a cluttered desk!
