Organize Your Desktop With In/Out Boxes

To make a long story short: If you share office space with a business partner, spouse, or assistant, you can likely benefit from creating two simple desktop boxes: "To ____" and "From ____."  It is important that these trays are flat and neighboring each other, not stacked.  They also must be labeled, even if their functions have been mutually agreed upon.  This virtually guarantees that each party involved retrieves their items quickly and effortlessly.  It not only looks good, but can save a relationship!
