You’re on the phone and need to get your hands on that invoice immediately. Now, where was it again? You just had it this morning. Oh yes, it’s in the invoice desk tray, right where you left it. If this experience sounds unfamiliar, perhaps now is the time to get a set of desk trays for yourself. Desk trays are the ultimate organizational tool for home and office. Gather your papers and sort by category. Then, place each stack in its corresponding tray and you’ll feel as though you’ve emerged victorious in the paper battle. A row of desk trays insist that you find the correct one in which to deposit your paperwork. Unlike file drawers, desk trays tempt you to file it right the first time because they are right there in plain view.

Is your desk the current clearing house for everyone else’s paperwork? Does it just end up in a huge stack? Give those coworkers a place to put it by offering desk trays for the documents they are accustomed to leaving in a big pile on your desk. Easily accessible and organized, you’ll save yourself hours of searching through the same old paper piles over and over again. Show the boss you know how to use your time and resources by becoming the model of efficiency and pretty soon you’ll be the one signing the paychecks.
