Only file things in your workspace if you know you are going to refer back them. Stacked up beside your keyboard is never the right answer. Find other homes for papers you don’t need anymore. If you are uncertain about the importance of certain documents, make it a priority to ask your superiors or coworkers where they go.

Calendar – For quick reference I have a one sheet per day calendar block on my desk. The phone should be on the desk as near to your keyboard and computer screen as possible. Post-it notes and flags – I always buy the largest post-it notes in a variety of colours as I often write notes to myself and need the extra room!

Now, the glamorous references are not something I am used to hearing but the endless stream of random requests is! Similarly I have a large A4 desk pad next to my keyboard for any quick notes I need to make, things to remember (like phone numbers for instance), and tasks people give me at my desk. Am I reaching for the stars here?

This saves a bunch of time if you have to do a function several times and there isnt a keyboard short cut. This repeats the last function you did (ie inserting a row in Excel) if you press the ctrl Y you will keep inserting rows.

Coming from a legal background, we were always taught if you are using an acronym or initialism in writing, on the first use you should spell it out and then put the acronym in brackets, which makes a lot of sense and saves a lot of head scratching and searching the document to figure out what the person is referring to. 411 Look Up 411.ca

I create folders for @action, @waiting for, and then reference folders by subject. Process email out of your in-box and into an action/follow-up system or reference folder and you'll manage your email instead of it managing you.

My point of reference is the Blackberry Pearl Flip, model 8220. I enjoyed having a full QWERTY keyboard without all of the keys, in such compact form factor. However, neither the HTC myTouch nor the Samsung Behold 2 have a keyboard. So, instead I’ll chronicle my use of the device as the weeks and months pass.
