Ruthless
I couldn't sleep so I got up and came in for a middle-of-the night ruthless desk and office cleaning. The first pass for me is trash - that prospect was a huge zero, did I really need that many printed copies of the chart? I have this saved electronically. Why in the hell was I saving that? Next comes the filing. Signed documents, things I will refer to later, notes and useful but unorganized desk accumulations. Some items will be routed to another's desk (not too many). I always end up with a small stack of unsortables; these will be added to action items for the day and serve as the starters for my next mess. It's a well-worn system.
