If you are uncertain about the importance of certain documents, make it a priority to ask your superiors or coworkers where they go. Stacked up beside your keyboard is never the right answer.

The phone should be on the desk as near to your keyboard and computer screen as possible. Highlighter pen – I don’t seem to use these much anymore but worth keeping handy. Eraser – for correcting mistakes.

I am not a big fan of touch screen keyboards as they are not a true QWERTY keyboard. The touch screen keyboard won’t give you a fast typing rate because you have to type with one finger versus all 10. I will also save documents that I have to mail the original by scanning it or making a hard copy of it.
