Deep Desk Drawer Organization

How to Organize a Deep Desk Drawer

A deep desk drawer can either be your secret productivity weapon—or a frustrating black hole. With the right setup, you’ll never dig for a pen again.

Steps to Organize:

• Start Fresh: Empty everything. Wipe down the drawer.
• Sort by Task Type: Divide into zones—writing tools, electronics, paper goods, etc.
• Use Tiered Trays or Sliding Inserts: These make it easy to access what you need without rummaging.
• Prevent Clutter Creep: Reserve a section for “inbox” items—papers or notes that need sorting.
