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.
