Keep A Clear Pathway To Your Desk - Tip 60.

Tip 60. Keep a clear pathway to your desk.
 
Do you have to turn slightly or watch where you step just to get to your desk?

Think about the width of a doorway. The opening is usually at least 30 inches wide. There’s a reason—so you don’t have to turn your body to fit through it. 
The same is true about getting to your desk. You need an unobstructed pathway of at least 30 inches to be able to easily glide through to that comfy chair of yours.

Every twist, turn, and extra step will cause you to spend more time at the office, and we know how much you like that. Time to clear that path.
 
Timber!

Greg, interesting concept, and usually no issues getting to my desk, unless I am doing a large mailout, or the cats have spread out on the floor.

Hi Greg... I have no issues getting to my desk... it's getting the stuff off of my desk and clearing a path to the top of my desk that's the issue.

Hi Nina,


Thank you for your thoughts.



There should only be 4 things on your desk: An In and Out box if you use any paper, your computer and your phone.


Everything always goes into your In box first rather than leaving it on your desk. That forces you to make a decision on everything.


There are only four places that something can go: OATS (Out Box, Action, Trash, or Support).

Hello Greg - the relationship between the size of the doorway and the ability to make that first step inside a room is important.  And you have made a significant first step with this post as your premiere entry into the ActiveRain blogosphere.  Good luck as you explore this world.  I hope we will learn more about you and your business in future posts.

Thanks Michael. 


I grew up in and worked in a construction family so I know a little more than the average bear. My dad taught us so many neat things such as never have anything on the floor. It prevented accidents and allowed us to work much quicker  not having to worry about what we would step on.

Thanks Carol.


Over the past 30 years, I have been able to remember a lot of client interactions which make fun stories and tips. As the comedians always say, I've got a million of them... actually not that many but a lot.
