Don’t keep paperwork lying around.  Handle it, file it or throw it away.

Clearing your desk completely or leaving it in good order should become a habit.  A clear desk is a foundation for tomorrow’s work.

If you can take action, do so at once.  Have an effective ‘brought forward’ system.

Paperwork for information – read and then file, throw away or pass on.

Reading information – save it for a marginal time.
