Tips for Organising your Workspace
•"L" and "U" shaped desks offer the most efficient WORK SPACES --
offering plenty of room to manoeuvre on all sides of you.
•Store all of your EQUIPMENT -- phone, computer, etc. -- on one "wing" of your desk and leave the other part(s) free to spread out on while you work.
•Locate your desk so that you don't face the DOOR -- this will keep you from catching people's eye and lessen daily interruptions.
•Keep MOTION in mind -- if you are doing a lot of walking, bending, or stretching during the day, you need to rethink your space.
•Adding a HUTCH to your desk can create a ton of great storage space for books, manuals, supplies, small equipment, and other items you always need at hand.
•Avoid having too many PERSONAL items -- photos, knick-knacks, plants -- cluttering up your immediate work area.
•Make sure you have plenty of DRAWERS near your desk -- for supplies, small equipment, paper products -- whatever small items you use regularly.
•Take time each day to CLEAR YOUR DESK before leaving work -- you'll start the next day in a much better frame of mind.
