Just for today, here's a quick office organising challenge.
- Set your timer for 10 minutes
- Put on some upbeat music ("You can't hurry love" - Phil Collins does it for me)
- Throw away all the stuff that doesn't belong on your desk
- Sort and make piles of paper - to action, to file, to pay, etc.
- Label these piles with post-it notes
- Return errant items to where they belong
Now doesn't that feel better?

somebody once told me, "always clear your desk before you leave. you'll be thankful in the morning."
it's good advice that i stick to like 50% of the time.
That is excellent advice - you just feel better facing a nice, clean desk in the mornings.
I do the same thing and on Friday do a paper and email purge too because I love coming to work knowing I'm on top of everything.
