If you’d like to take control of the paperwork on your desk, I recommend a new habit: at the end of the day: stop working ten minutes before you leave. Watch the video for the reason why! (Compliments of yours truly at Jean Franzblau Consulting.)
Activities to do with your final ten minutes at work: File stuff away, Look at your calendar and strategize for tomorrow, back up your files, prepare for your commute home, make your desk look like a nice place to return to.
