Raul over at Hummingbird604 recently wrote a post about keeping your desk organized. This has always been an issue for me so I figured I'd post a little response with a photo of my desk.

My work space is nowhere near as organized as Raul's. Notice the empty bowl from lunch on the left and the piles of paper everywhere.

It is, though, a very manageable mess for me – and I get work done. I guess since most of my job is done online the papers matter very little. My to-do lists are always easily accessible and any reference materials I might need can be found quickly.

I do, though, find that I need to review the papers every couple of weeks and recycle and make sure everything has been processed. But having the to-do lists ready at hand means that I know what I have to do at all times. I might have to spend a couple of seconds looking for a piece of paper with notes, but that's about it.
