Organizing tips for your home or business office
First Sort & Purge
  Empty your desk, file cabinets and bookcases
Now decide which Files to take and which-Files to Toss ask the questions described in How to Sort and Purge

1) You do good things and people write thank you notes. Don’t save all of them save the ones that have special meaning to you. Something so memorable that it if was a picture you’d hang it on the wall

2) Sort like things together.

3) If you have 5 staplers return 4. Ink will dry out of pens-let someone else use them up
Then ask:

Then - Where do they go?
  On your desk minimize clutter. Only the project you’re working on & some stylish accessories. Office supplies should be in a drawer not on desktop.

· ACTIVE Files that you use all the time should be closest t to you on right side of desk
· Useful current information
· Used frequently – several times a month
· SEMI ACTIVE Files that you use once a month on the left side of desk

· INFREQUENT Files that you use less than once a month
· store out of immediate work area.
