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. Remove all personal
items from 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 nee 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.
Have a wonderful
weekend!
