"Last Word"-Organizational Ideas

SUZANNE PRATT: Finally tonight, it's the beginning of the New Year in your office and a great chance to get organized. Office Depot has some suggestions on how to make things more productive. Slim down the piles. Get rid of that huge stack of paper on your desk and shred what you don't need. Tone up your to-do list. Break down large projects into manageable parts, increase your file finding flexibility, file your paperwork as you go. It can prevent clutter and make files easier to locate.

Train for a less taxing tax season. Don't stuff receipts into a shoebox. Instead, use tax software to help you keep and track everything.

KANGAS: I would have uncontrolled chaos in mine. That's the way it is.
