Do papers and files cover your desk like autumn leaves on your lawn? Time to toss and file. Clear out your e-mail inbox (often easier to delete in big chunks if you sort by sender), unsubscribe from unnecessary newsletters (physical and electronic), and turn off social media notifications that tend to pile up.
