10 Minutes a Day to Organize Your Office
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.
