4 Tips for your workspace and desk

DeskThis is the second post in the continuing series 31 Tips to Spend Time Properly. These tips will help you invest your time more wisely, productively and energetically each day. Some of the tips can be done immediately; others require cultivation. All are time well spent.

31 Ways to Spend Time Properly

Tips 9-12: Your workspace and desk.

9. Assign a place for everything in your office or cubical. Don’t be someone who always says, “Give me a minute, I can find it.” Instead, be someone who can say, “Just a second, I know exactly where that is.” Getting organized will always make work, as well as your life, easier.

10. Keep your desk free of papers you are not working on that day. You will be shocked at how much paper will depart from your desk! This prevents the important from being mixed up or lost among the unimportant.

11. Use stackables to sort your papers. They’re cheap and can be quickly arranged to meet changing requirements and processes.

12. Keep paperwork moving. Again, use stackables to sort papers based on the action you will take on them.

Sue’s Story

I've been a professional organizer most of my adult life. Who I am and why I love my work comes from how I was raised and the mysteries of DNA!

From the most humble of beginnings in Kentucky to helping businesses and organizations across the U.S., I always try my best to share both practical and inspirational principles and techniques.

I hope you enjoy your visit here and come back often. And feel free to call or email anytime.

Even though you might reach me on my porch looking out at the Colorado Rockies, a born and bred Kentucky girl enjoys a good chat.
