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.
