If you answered yes or even maybe or a little bit to any of those questions you have to sit down (probably after you have dragged in a chair from another room, the office chair being covered with papers), and prepare a plan to organize your office desk.
Grab the papers littered on your desk and begin to sort them into piles. First organize them according to type. All the same type of paper should be placed in the same pile e.g. circulars, letters, replies (copies) and brochures. Next, sort within these items for date relevancy. Place the most current at the top of the pile and the oldest at the bottom. Discard, immediately, those who are in the wrong room and have nothing to do with your office work.
Once you have done this, begin to discard. Toss out those circulars and brochures that are not current or applicable. Throw away items long past their due or expiry date. Anything that has nothing to do with your actual work or future projects and plans should be junked.
Place these orderly piles aside, unless your filing cabinet and both in and out boxes are free, and move on to the desk drawers, applying the same method.
Once you are through sorting the paper work, you will have considerably reduced the amount of excess paper on your desk. It now is up to you to decide how to file them.
Current work, immediate projects should be near at hand. They are best left in a file on your desk in a to-do, current or in box. Other projects, correspondence, brochures and material should be placed in a filing cabinet. These do not have to be situated directly next to you. They can be across the room or down the hall. As long as all that excess paper is not on your desk.
There should now be no excess on your desk. The only project or work visible must be the only one you are currently working on. This will keep you and your mind focused and your desk tidy.
On your desk, order the other elements. Place within reach of each other things that belong together. All your computer parts and requirements should be located near each other. Telephone should be on the desk within easy reach. Pens, markers, pencils and other writing implements should be placed in a box inside your desk, the only ones on the desk's surface being the ones needed for the project or currently in use. Paper clips, rubber bands and other extra items do not need to be in your desk drawers. Keep them and extra printing paper, forms, business cards and related material in a closed cabinet or clear plastic box. Do not, however, forget to label them clearly.
If you absolutely must have a wide variety of paper-related paraphernalia keep I a t a minimum and always within the confines of the desk. The only exceptions are if you have a system of on desk containers, sitting unobtrusively on top of a computer, desk or side table.
Remember when organizing your desk it has a purpose ? a working purpose. Every piece of paper you add to its surface detracts from its goal. Do not let it! Keep the paper clutter under control. Deal immediately with material in your in box, sending it off by, if not before the due date. If you can not help yourself, if you are a natural clutterer, force yourself to take baby steps. Sit down weekly or at a set time, and pare, pare, pare. This will help you maintain a tidier, if still slightly, disorganized desk.
Truck desks attach to the passenger seat bolts, and fit in all the Super Duty trucks including the F-250, F-350, F-450 and the F-550. Thye provide a sturdy, durable work environment so the user can maintain the luxury of having the laptop at their fingertips, and creates a mobile office environment. With this application there is no need for drilling or using brace legs for stability. The design of this mount enables the truck desk to mount to the front two passenger seat bolts. The mount can be easily installed by one person with the aid of a few tools. Once the base is in place the vertical tube and rod can be positioned and tightened with the ease of a ratchet.
Almost all feature an extension rod which enables the desktop to clear any center console. An articulating arm is then attached which extends horizontally for driver convenience. The main desktop is constructed of durable ABS plastic and can pivot up to 90 degrees, and turns 360 degrees for optimumal positioning. It comes with foam pads which have several advantages. One is shock absorption or vibration dampening while driving, and another is creating passive air flow for the cooling fans. The pads also ensure that the laptop will not slide around on the desktop while traveling.
Screen holders provide a huge benefit as they hold the screen hinge assembly while driving so that the laptop can be used for GPS, or other software navigation. Since the mounting bracket is under the seat, and the upright assembly comes up beside the left leg of the passenger, no space is not lost. Both the driver or passenger can use the computer because of the limitless positions the desktop can be set at. The range of motion is controlled by self-ratcheting handles on all of the pivot points. The positions are changed easily.
Without the auto desk the laptop would ride on the center console or passenger seat, and possibly become a flying projectile if the brakes were applied. The integrity of the laptop is then compromised, and the cost of replacement will be substantially higher than the initial cost of the mounting system. The desktop can swing out of the way of the airbags, and the driver doesn't have to twist around to use their laptop so there is less chance of missed man-hours due to strain or injury. Another feature is being able to stand outside the vehicle on the passenger side and still be able to use the laptop. This position is also called "tactically safe".
These laptop desks have endured many years of rigorous testing with industries ranging from service and utility, construction, and oilfield to name a few. The F 250 Enforcer mount can be used for years and provide a unique mobile office in your Super Duty and provide incredible value. The Enforcer II for the F-250, F-350, F-440 and F-550 is the strongest, most durable Super Duty truck auto desk on the market, designed for those who must have the best tools to tackle the toughest jobs.
