One way to keep yourself organized and help maintain your focus at your desk is a wire step file. Label several folders like this: Do, Announcements, staff list, read , file , hold, and monthly report.These are what I have and am planning for the new school year. These are folders I refer to on a daily basis. Customize what you put on your folders depending on your needs throughout the year.
Other files are kept in one of my other filing areas ( more on that later) . These are items I do not need on a daily/ weekly basis. At the end of the day, each piece of paper ( or printed email if I deem necessary) are placed in one of these folders if I think it is necessary. Otherwise , I 'file' anything I don't need in the wastebasket.
Each day I take my Do File to work on items that need action. I usually only have two tasks in there at a time,with notes to myself as needed. Any other pending tasks next on list I put in "hold" file.
This helps keep me organized and focused. It keeps my desk neat and I can accomplish what I need to without clutter.
