What’s in a desk? Organizing for productivity.

A number of writers on the “Student Affairs Women Talk Tech” blog (Joise Ahlquist, Kristen Abell, and Jennifer Keegin) posted pictures of their desks and wrote posts describing their work space and how they personalize it and organize it for productivity.  I decided to take a cue from them and share my own desk as well as how organize myself to be successful.  I work from home, so I have a lot of opportunities to reorganize things the way I want.  Take a look at the presentation embedded below to get a better sense of my own desk.

How do you organize your work space?

  1. A personal tip for success – at the end of the night or work period, I clean up my desk. A clean desk is more appealing to come back to and keeps you from feeling overwhelmed when you look at it.
