If you are looking at a messy desk, and you don’t know where to start to clean it up and get through that pile of clutter, then you can do what I call the “4-D’s” and stop sitting right on top of it.
Just Get It Done!
Stop looking at the mess and thinking about how you should clean it up and do it! Do it; be done with it – stop thinking about it.
Delegate Tasks
Look at the things on your desk and delegate. If someone on your team can take care of something sitting there, let them do it. Don’t let it remain there waiting if you can delegate that item.
Delete Junk
If it is not important, then delete it. Right now, throw it away and get it out of your workspace.
Delay for Later
When you find things that need to be addressed in the future, then make a file and place it there. You may have items on your desk that you can’t do now, but they need to happen this summer, next year, or later. Make files for Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4 and place items in the correct quarter so you can access them then.
