3. Master the "Zones" of Your Desk
Treat your desk like a cockpit by organizing it into reach-based zones.
* Immediate Zone: Keep only what you use daily (keyboard, mouse, phone) within an arm's length.
* Secondary Zone: Place items you use weekly (reference books, staplers) further away so they don't clutter your primary work area.
* Digital First: Transition as many physical documents as possible to digital storage to reclaim up to 70%of your desk surface.
