1. Never keep work in progress inside a desk drawer.
2. Set aside some time every day to do your paperwork. For best results, choose a time when your energy level is high.
3. Keep a large wastebasket near your work area.
4. Don't use a bulletin board. It's a burial ground.
5. Keep stationery and stamps nearby for the quick note to complete a task.
6. Resist the urge to take notes on dozens of different pieces of paper and notepads. Instead chose one size you favor and stick to that.
