- Make sure the only things ON your desk are the things you use all of the time. Everything else should have a different “home”.
- Keep the things you use the most within fingertip reach.
- Keep the things you use often within arms reach.
- Keep the things you use rarely the furthest away.
- Everything on or in your desk, and in your office, should be assigned a home based on its use.
- Group like things with like things, including your tasks.
- Stop trying to use a table or something else for a desk, it will NEVER work. Get a desk with at least one or two drawers for hanging files.
