12 Tips for an Organized Desk

Are you the disorganized type with piles of paper on your desk? Or are you the type who goes for fashion over function?

Well, Smart Computer Softwares Blog has a great post called 12 Tips for an Organized Desk to help you get a handle on your office space.

I especially like this point:

   • "Get rid of pens and pencils you don’t need. - I have one type of pen I like to use, but every month or my pencil holder gets filled up with other random writing instruments. If you aren’t going to use it, don’t feel bad about throwing it out. It is just clutter."

I did this yesterday. It may seem like an insignificant thing. You may wonder how something so small can make any sort of difference in your day. What we don't realize is that those tiny inconveniences and frustrations, while insignificant on their own, can contribute to a general feeling of frustration throughout our workday.

Be sure to check out the post - it's a good read!

Got any other pointers on organizing your desk?
