Transcript of What's in a desk? Organizing for productivity.
I customize the special buttons on my mouse so I can switch
windows and view my desktop quickly… in one click.
I use multiple computer input methods. Sometimes a mouse is better suited to some tasks and other times a trackpad is best.
I try not to litter my desktop with icons and make a point of “cleaning it” regularly. Making your icons “super big” helps,
because you run out of space more quickly. ;)
I clear my desk of distractions. (Or at least try!) Admittedly,
Twitter can be a distraction, but I place it on my second monitor to
keep it out of my main workspace.
I keep my to do list open on my second monitor (not pictured), so I
can plan my work “at a glance.” I use the app “Clear.”
I keep my favorite pens on hand. Also a pencil, highlighter, and other writing implements “just in case.”
Old school post it notes still have a place on my desk. Especially to take notes during calls. I try
not to let them pile up.
