Whether you work at home or in a dedicated office space, keeping your computer workstation clean and neat is essential to productivity. The first step to getting organized is to remove unnecessary items. At work, keep personal items separate; in personal spaces, keep work things out. Avoid clutter, and try not to eat at your desk too often. Keep a decent sized trash can nearby, and consider investing in organizing equipment. This may be pencil/pen caddies, stacking file drawers or even a bulletin board. Keep the most important things forefront, where you can get to them quickly and easily.
