7 Ways to Stay
Organized at Work
Organizing your work space does not have to take days or
hours; it can be done within minutes. In fact, maintaining an
organized work environment is much more effective if
treated as an ongoing project, instead of a massive burden.
Here are a few tips on how to keep your work space
organized:
Designate a Physical Inbox

You need a physical inbox to put all your incoming papers.
Otherwise, they will scatter all over the existing documents on
your desk.
Have a Trash Can Within Reach

If you have to stand up from your desk or walk a few steps to
reach the garbage can, then it is too far away. Make sure that
you can easily and quickly reach the trash without getting
up from your chair.
Schedule Regular Cleaning Time

If you have not cleaned your desk in a month, it could take you
a few hours to clean it up. However, if you do it daily, it will only
take you minutes. Avoid compounding your organizing time by
scheduling a designated regularly.
Never Put Trash Down

Whether it is a piece of paper or a food wrapper, never
procrastinate to throw away trash. Get in the habit of holding it
in your hand until it is in the proper bin. You don’t want to put
trash on your desk and forget about it.
Scan It

Clear that paper clutter, by scanning it into soft copy or PDF.
Buying a scanner will attain and maintain peace and
organization on your desk.
Keep a Master Planner

Having a planner is one of the most important ways to stay
organized. Writing down meeting, due dates, appointments etc. will make
you less likely to forget things and procrastinate. As well, you will benefit
from your information being stored in one place and being easily accessible.
Create a To-Do List and Follow It

You should keep a daily (and, if possible, weekly and monthly)
to-do list. The key is to focus on following through with the tasks
until completion.
