Desk Organization

keep only what is necessary..

if you have a binder - use it for your bills - use the clear plastic holders - for presentations - to put the bills in - label them 1st and 15th - or however you guys get paid.

scan anything you can - like the receipts for important things and have a filing cabinet - if you feel you need one.

If you haven't touched it in 3 to 6 months - get rid of it. You haven't used it and it's likely you will not.

I have a Longaberger basket that has the separator in it - for my stapler, scissors, envelopes, labels, note pads, pencils...I actually have two..yeah - they were expensive but worth it...

does this help?

This is what I like to use.
For organizing anything, and desk stuff.
Especially when there are only 1 desk drawer on a desk.

You can have one for each person.
I have one for each of my kids, for their school papers/stuff.
I have several for myself too.
It is neat and organized and looks nice.
And stuff is all, consolidated into it.

Get a small bookshelf and put all the binders, notepads, manuals on that. Get the small plastic organizers with drawers and put your receipts, tape, clips, pens, etc

It sounds like you need more surface space. I would think of getting a small bookshelf. You can get them at walmart for like $20 and they are not large, but large enough to be of use. Then you could free up some desk space and actually have room on the desk to work. You can get baskets to put in the shelf for things like staplers and tape, and the things like binders, nottebooks, and manuals can go on the shelf just as a book would.
