I have a very disorganized office. My co- workers have been making jokes about my office for a long time, and my boss finally cracked down on me. He told me: “Get the office organized by Friday – no excuses!” What choice did I have?



I’ve always been a pack rat. I hate to throw anything out, but I was determined 1 to turn over a new leaf. It’s true I’ve worked in the same office for four years and have accumulated a lot of paper, but if I put my mind to it, I’m sure I could get rid of all of the clutter 2.



There are piles of paper and files all over my desk and sorting them out won’t be easy. All I need to do, though, is to purge 3 my filing cabinets of old files to make room for new ones. I also need to triage the papers on my desk, on the floor, and in my overflowing 4 inbox. Then, I only need to make new files and label them. Finally, I’ll only keep those things on my desk that are essential and get rid of anything that isn’t.



That’s a pretty good plan, don’t you think? I’ve already made a to-do list. Now all I need to do is start on those tasks!
