What should you do if your desk is an absolute mess? What should you do if there are piles and piles of papers, folders, magazines, and clippings all over?
The easiest thing to do is to take everything and put it in a large box or container. Then take 15 to 20 minutes ( set a timer- see Using a kitchen timer ) Take a pile from the top and go through each piece. Refile each paper where it should go. Have some a file folders and markers.
If there is a current project you are working non , label a folder and put all related items into that folder.Anything you do not need , throw away or put in the recycling bin.
Also have some files that can be marked : To do, To read, To file.
Anything you need to save , label a folder and put the paper in it. Then file in your file cabinet. Make sure you put them in alphabetical order. If you have files you are done with , refile in the proper spot
Do a 15 - 20 minute session until your bin is empty.
Now devised a system, Establish a place marked TO FILE. Never let your piles get out of hand again. Each day spend some time refiling so your desk is clean!
