I put notes on everything, on the back of confidential forms, on the front of someones review i'm working. I write on my desk if it was convenient. at any rate, I periodicly go through and get rid of all the clutter. I do a quick once over and toss everything I can get my hands on. if it may have some future value, I put that in a stack on the back corner of my desk. after 2 or 3 iterations of something making it to the stack, I toss the stack. it is pretty effective. and i'm always so much happier when I through away junk. =) ok... a little story. a broken barcode scanner has been plugged into a production machine for years. this scanner causes the computer to reboot at random. I got fed up with it, and gave it to someone, who's first reponse was tell me to get it off their desk. after a 2 second pause, they picked it up and threw a $500 scanner in the trash and continued working. there is alot to learn from that. its been a long week. don't bother reading the post again, as I can assure you there you will find very little intelegence in it. at work, I periodicly clean my desk. my problem is paper.
