 |
Arrange your desk/work area in an L or a U shape; purchase an ergonomic rolling chair. |
 |
Keep frequently used items on your desk so you're not constantly opening drawers. |
 |
Clean out desk drawers; designate specific places for all items; use drawer dividers. |
 |
Keep the phone on the side of the desk away from your writing hand-answering the phone with the other hand leaves your writing hand free to take notes. |
 |
Toss anything magnetic-magnets can damage floppy disks and computer screens. |
 |
Remove knickknacks, toys, and family photos. Display them, instead, on a credenza, shelf, or windowsill. |
 |
Maintain a clear work surface; put away papers and tools you're not using. |
