Having a cluttered desk doesn’t do you any favours. It does not help to make you personally effective, it can distract you and it can make you look out of control – to list but a few of the disadvantages. This training activity provides participants with some specific methods for organising their desk. It gives them the opportunity to evaluate these methods, so that they can return to their workplace with ideas of how to organise their desk in a way which suits them.
You begin this training activity by discussing the impressions a cluttered desk can create and explore some practical methods which could be used to achieve an organised desk and increase personal effectiveness. Then you ask participants, working in groups, to evaluate these suggestions and to see how they could be adapted to their own workspace.
