I keep one good pen, preferably a fountain pen, for signing documents and a red pen for ticking things off my to-do list. Calendar – For quick reference I have a one sheet per day calendar block on my desk. Files – see my previous blog on my filing system. Eraser – for correcting mistakes.

Similarly I have a large A4 desk pad next to my keyboard for any quick notes I need to make, things to remember (like phone numbers for instance), and tasks people give me at my desk. Calendars are not just for appointments. Archive and search rather than file. I will then transfer all of these notes on to my task list.

Our organization uses Google Apps for our e-mail, calendar and cloud solution. By using labels in combination with filters, I am able to automatically sort and label (file) most of my e-mail before it arrives in my in-box. I'll read and delete and save those of interest in a file. These Keys Are Your Best Friends.
