Organized Desk Help

Get Your Organized Desk to Work for You!

Organize your desk properly and you'll have your own assistant! Organized does not mean neat automatically, some very messy desks are very well organized and likewise some very neat desks are very unorganized.

Time is the element we are all trying to beat. Wasted time = wasted productivity, money, effort and energy. Use this checklist to rethink how you organize your desk and make some changes today! Don't put it off. Print this article and check off as you make the changes.

1- Get rid of the general IN box.
We tend to dump everything here and it gets forgotten, we also feel overwhelmed as this box grows and grows.

2-Replace it with the URGENT ACT NOW, NEED MORE INFO,
REVIEW LATER and of course the standard "file 13" (wastepaper basket).

3- As things come in put them right away in the appropriate baskets,boxes above.

4- Start your day with the URGENT ACT NOW box and do those things first. The morning is where you are most alert and everyone tends to be at their desk, so if you need to make some calls to people, get signatures, etc. you'll usually find them at their desk in the morning.

5- Keep the NEED MORE INFO items for after lunch, where you can take more time to examine, ponder and review problems and how to get them solved.

6- Keep the REVIEW LATER for the last thing in the afternoon.
By now, you'll be more tired and you can review these items and decide if they need to be placed in the URGENT ACT NOW box for tomorrow morning or the NEED MORE INFO basket for the next afternoon.

7- Throw out all that is obviously junk mail, etc. right away.

It will save you loads of time.
By using these simple method and implementing this change right away you will:
A- Become more organized and save time
B- Never lose out on something urgent because it's lost in your inbox.
C- Use the different times of your day to their full advantage
D- Save time and money and increase your productivity
(How do you spell promotion? P R O D U C T I V I T Y)
The traditional inbox is actually the worse way to organize your desk. The only use for an inbox is for mail someone else drops on your desk. If you are in the type of work environment where everyone has access to your desk area. Train the people that work with you to pre-organize where they leave papers and work for you. That way you'll save even more time!
