Home Office & Desk Organization
A desk system has one job: a clear surface at the start of the day. This system separates active work (one tray), reference (one shelf) and archive (the home file system), sizes desk storage from what the work actually uses, and keeps cables and chargers in one defined run instead of a drawer of knots.
Start-here checklist
- One in-tray for active work; everything else is reference or archive
- Desk surface rule: only today's work lives on it
- Reference shelf within reach; archive out of the room
- Cables: one labelled run, spares coiled and labelled in one box
