Organizing your desk is very important to becoming a productive person. People of any ages first need to decide jus how much one desk can manage. Look at the size of your desk and decide- is it big enough for a computer? If you put your computer on it, how much more can it take? You should have a couple shelves to keep your papers organized. Also, have a cup filled with pens, pencils, high lighters etc so that you never have to rummage.

Also, lighting is very important. Find a good lamp that doesn't take up too much room. Also, if you have a lot of electric things, a power strip can reach out under the desk to give you easy access so that you can plug in, unplug or flick the switch.

Also, the Safco Vertical Desk Top Sorter    is not quite a filing cabinet, but it does the trick for desk papers. The Rolodex Wood Tones Desk Pad protects your desk from the heat of your computer and prevents the computer from overheating.
