Your computer and keyboard should be
main focus of your desk. Place a container with pens, pencils within arms reach. Stack note pads nearby. Purchase desk top vertical or horizontal organizers to stack important papers and keep them neat and orderly.
Books/essentials. Stack reference books on a bookshelf on your desk, above your desk, or one adjacent to desk.
Storage Disk Store important CD's or floppies in a holder on your desk.
Peripherals. Place your fax, printer, scanner adjacent to your desk. So you will only need to move a few inches to access them.
Telephones. Your telephone should be close enough for you to answer without leaving your desk chair. Believe me, running back and forth to answer or make calls can be very time consuming and tiring.
File Cabinets If possible, place files adjacent to desk or in a way to suit your workspace and give you easy access.
Keep personal items off your desk. This includes your favorite magazines, a favorite crossword puzzle, personal letters. And this certainly isn't place to leave your favorite hand held video game. All these items will cause too many distractions.
Use above tips as a starting point to get your office organized efficiently and improve work production.
