Everyone wants a neat and tidy desk. It makes it more enjoyable to sit and do your work, makes you look more professional, and keeps you organized. If you're one of those who always have trouble keeping the desk organized, here are some tips:
1. Get Organized: Go to your local office supply store, invest in folders, storage and trays. Clean out the drawers, throw out anything you don't need and organize the items you do need so you can find them quickly and efficiently.
2. Go Paperless: We live in a digital age now, and with smart phones and tablets we can truly go paperless on the cloud. Take a look at the great features Google provides with Google Drive, invest in an app like Evernote.
3. Get rid of the Post It notes: Can you not see your desk through all the yellow paper? It's time to invest in a digital to do list. Once again, take a look at Evernote, or the built in apps on your phone.
4. Calendar Desk Blotters: Handy? Yes. Ugly and a mess? Yes. Once again, look to Google, your apps, or perhaps invest in your own personal Customer Relationship Management (CRM) to keep you on track with your appointments. ZOHO is a free CRM that can keep you organized. Most people will admit that the desk calendar is their largest coffee mug coaster they own.
5. Keep it clean: Invest in a small compressed air canister to clean your keyboard. Get rid of all those dust bunnies and small potato chip crumbs that collect in the QWERTY. Don't leave items on your desk when you leave at night, take two minutes to put everything away in it's place.
6. Cut the cord: Don't actually cut the cord, but cut down on the amount of cords on your desk. Many people still have computer towers, along with their phones and monitors on their desk. You can purchase a handy cord organizer to cut down the clutter.
