Organizing

• Sort - inventory of what you have
• Purge - chuck stuff so you have less
• Assign - put stuff left over into zones
• Containerize - put the stuff in the zones in containers
• Equalize - maintain system, keep it current

SPACE

Tips:

• Don't zig-zag, stay in one room and have a 'belongs elsewhere' pile to take when you leave
• Papers - only transient papers should be on your desk, the rest should be filed
