Don’t keep any drinks on your desk. Go to the kitchen when you want to have a drink or, if you prefer, keep a drink on a small table near your desk. 3. Reduce the amount of paper that you use. Try to keep as much information as possible in folders on your computer. Before printing a document, ask yourself, ‘do I really need to read this on paper?’ 4. Scan your notes. If you have a lot of paper (magazine articles, notes, worksheets, etc.), use a scanner and keep a digital version as a PDF on your computer. 5. Use your smartphone to take photos of things you need to remember. For example, take photos of notes to yourself, the name and address of a place you need to visit or diagrams you need to study for school. 6. Get a noticeboard. If you really do need to keep small bits of paper, use a noticeboard on the wall. Check it every day and throw old notes in the bin. 7. Clean your desk at the end of every day.
