Striking Statistic

Some studies suggest that 15% of the work week is wasted by a messy desk.  Time wasting symptoms include having to look for things and being distracted by other things in sight.   Doing the math, this could be 6 hours out of every 40 hour work week that is spent unproductively!

Timely Tip

Keep urgent items on work surface and the rest in baskets or files that are out of sight, but where they are easily retrievable when needed.  When placing other items on the work surface, place items used most often within arms reach.  However, save workspace by removing things from the primary work surface if not needed or rarely used. 

Computer Clue

To reduce clutter and save in-basket overload as well as filing space,  send and store data electronically rather than in paper form.  Data may be shared as email attachments in compatible programs or via other electronic methods.  Wherever possible, utilize diskettes, CDs, internal company servers, or the internet/intranet for data sharing and storage.
