10 Minutes a Day to Organize Your Office

No time to organize your office? Follow these daily steps to
organize and then maintain your office.

1. On Mondays, de-clutter your office. Remove at least one item
which you don't use at least monthly. Take those personal items
off your desk. Throw away pens that don't work. Reduce your
ketchup/salt/napkin supply by 90%.

2. On Tuesdays, take inventory. Review your supplies and make a
list or place an order. Take a few minutes to look through an
office supply catalog. You'll find a myriad of useful organizing
items.

3. Think on Wednesdays. How can you make better use of your
computer? Can you develop a spreadsheet to help organize some
aspect of your job? Do you need to find and register for a
computer class? Do it today.

4. Thursday is sorting day. Go through all those business cards
and small pieces of paper which have accumulated throughout the
week. Put them where they belong. Also put away any reference
materials you've been using.

5. Have fun filing on Fridays. End your week by cleaning up all
the paper lying around your office. Purge your files. Have a
mean and clean filing system which you can actually use.

Then have a wonderful weekend.
