Line up books and binders that you use daily to establish a perimeter for your work area.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The phone book, stapler, pens & pencils, tape, etc. go into \u201cThings that Need to be Handy\u201d. Check the date and topic on each item as you pick it up. If it is out of date, no longer an issue, or no longer needed, pitch it in the recycling bin. Put things that belong to other people in the \u201csomewhere else\u201d pile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clear out desk drawers and cabinets and do the same thing with the contents. (Don\u2019t forget the very top area of the desk.) Clean all surfaces with a moist cloth and cleaner, then wax and then dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prioritize the \u201cShelf\u201d items by necessity, keeping only the things that look presentable or that you use on a regular basis to actually put back in the desk shelves. (Find new covers for items that are ratty in appearance but must be handy for daily use.) The rest can go behind cabinet doors or on a separate shelf near the desk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ah, the desk. Is there any place better for an intellectual to work?
