Keeping a tidy desk is essential to make office life easier. By organising your desk items, you can quickly find what you are looking for, just when you need it most.
Vital Desk Supplies
To keep your desk in tip-top order, having somewhere to store pens, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, and so on, is crucial. A desk tidy is just the job for this task. Look for one that comes with several compartments of different sizes, so that you can also store smaller items such as paper clips or wall pins.
There's nothing more off-putting than a disorganised pile of papers cluttering up your desk area. Not only will you waste precious work time trying to find the documents that you need, but you also risk losing vital paperwork or forgetting to action an item. To keep your paperwork in good order, a handy letter tray is just the ticket. Buy a couple and stack one on top of the other for an 'in' and an 'out' tray.
To keep groups of papers together, invest in a stapler or some clips. Many people also find that folders with divider inserts are a convenient way to organise paperwork by different subjects or category areas.
Once you have got your desk ship-shape, try to keep it that way. If you let things slide, the untidiness will soon escalate. Devote a few minutes each week to organising your desk so that the next time you use it you don't get a sense of dread at the mounting clutter. Every desk should also include a diary, so that you can write down when you need to action any paperwork to avoid missing any all-important deadlines.
