Organize Your Desktop

Welcome to Small business week! 

I don’t know how these ‘holidays’ truly come about, but I think they are a great excuse to set some goals.  make them simple.  Like organize your desktop.  Not the whole desk or the whole office (although beware because once you start its hard to stop) just the top.

 Look at what is on top of your desk and make sure that everything within reach is stuff you actually use every day.  Like if it wasn’t there you’d be getting up every hour or so to go use it somewhere else.  Put the things you do not use frequently further away.  Not totally put away but not at your fingertips - you must stand or stretch to use it.

Finally, the things that you use the least frequently you can put far away (like you have to take steps to reach it) or simply put it away.

By taking simple steps to straighten my desktop and give the things I use the most ‘places of honor’ I increase my productivity.
