If your desk harbours mounds of papers, books, files and personal accessories, you may be adding unnecessary stress to your day. Set up a good filing system. Colour–coded files are especially helpful — they show you at a glance where something should go. Put items that must be looked at in a special folder or file.

Files can be kept in open piles on a desk or in folders, according to your style. Use the RAFT template: refer it, act on it, file it or toss it. File it, if necessary. Eighty percent of filed papers are never looked at again. If the amount is small, three times a week may do. Act on it immediately.

Manage paper effectively – Barbara Hemphill, author of The Paper Tiger, offers the FAT principle for paper burden: file it, act on it, or toss it. Reference Files: store in a convenient location close to your desk. Archive Files: store in a filing cabinet or an off-site location.

Sort – everything into boxes/containers according to what needs to be done: file , shred, recycle , refer, toss, etc. Process the paper – take the items you sorted into boxes and put them where they belong: filing, your tickler or reading folder or delegate/refer to a more appropriate person, etc.
