What Can I Do In (only) 10 Minutes
Organize your top desk drawer-
        Make sure you have the supplies you need most often.
       Throw out pens that don't write, bent of of shape paper
       clips and dried up WhiteOut.

Clean out the glove box-
       Toss all but the current insurance card, old napkins and
       handwipes, ancient condiment packets and unusable
       pens. Take legal paperwork in and store with other legal
       documents. Gather the loose change and get yourself a
       treat! Reward yourself for actually having done what you
       had told yourself you'd do "someday".

Sort through that stack of magazines-
      Toss or donate (immediately) the ones of no current
       interest. Put the others aside to sort and clip later.

Sort-
       Keep a few of those magazines in a portfolio with a pack
       of Post It style sticky paper. While you're waiting for the
       dentist or the kids to get out of school page through them
       and mark the pages you feel you must keep..
.
Clip-
      Clip the resume examples, recipes or craft ideas that you
      will use in the near future. Keep only the ones you would
      not be able to access in any other way, ie: library, internet
      or reference book.

File-
      These indispensable nuggets  of information must be
       easily accessible to be used. Get them into properly
       labeled files, binders or portfolios immediately!.
The following tasks are not meant to be done all at once or together.  Each is a short individual "to do".
