If you have ever taken your laptop with you on a trip, you’ve had this issue. If you’ve ever taken more than one gadget (iPod, PSP, GameBoy, Camera) to work, you’ve been frustrated by this issue. If you’ve ever used a laptop or messenger bag to transport your tech, you’ve fought this issue. Carrying any kind of electronic device(s) means carrying the power cable and any/all other accessories with you wherever you go. As soon as the second item hits your bag, things get complicated.
Cables tangle, screens get scratched and everything in your bag drops straight to the bottom. This makes finding any one item next to impossible (without dumping the contents of the entire bag) and, most likely, it is going to shorten the life and look of your gadgets and devices. For any tech/gadget nerd, this is just not acceptable and, if you are anything like me, you want to take care of the items that you paid so much for. There is a bit of pride in owning an iPod that is 2-years old, but looks like you just bought it. Throw-in the fact that “no scratches” and “like new” make great tag lines for any product you want to sell on eBay, and you’ve got yourself a good set of reasons for taking care of your gear.

Your Browser Can Look Like This
For the last couple of days, we’ve talked about increasing your elbow room in your workspace. Once you’ve tackled that project, you might find yourself just motivated enough to handle some other issues in your office (home or work). Removing clutter and reorganizing can also be applied to another important part of your daily workspace, your browser. This might not be something you have thought about before, but once you see what is possible, you’ll realize just how crazy your browser was getting.
Remember when you first started on your new computer or new install of a browser? It was clean, organized and ready for you to destroy. You began browsing for work and/or personal use and quickly began collecting bookmarks, toolbars, sidebars, etc. Reading your favorite blogs, participating in social networking, playing your favorite online games and checking your personal email quickly caused a disorganized, overloaded browser. The more you used it, the less space you were actually left with to view web sites at all.

Earlier today, we posted the article Organize and Stylize Your Workspace. I made reference to several great products and ideas for organizing your work area, but failed to mention that I have been tackling this issue for some time myself now. Here’s a quick look at what I have done.
The picture might be a little grainy, but you get the… picture. Here is a breakdown of the elements of my new workspace:

Whether at home or at the office, organization is important. Your productivity and efficiency can hinge on your ability to locate things quickly and easily. Unfortunately, being busy often keeps us from finding the time to clean up our workspace and get our desk organized. Sounds a bit like the “chicken or the egg” argument, doesn’t it? Well, it’s time to make a change and we have some tips to help you out.
With any computer workspace there are a few standard hurdles to overcome. Cables, monitors, speakers and peripherals are necessities, but take up valuable desk space and limit your “elbow room.” Honestly, once you get all these things set up in the small bit of real estate that your office allows you, what room is there for actual work? In most cases, the answer is as simple as a bigger desk or cubicle. Unfortunately, due to space constraints and budgets, this easy answer is often impossible. It is going to be up to you and a small amount of money to seize back your workspace and your sanity.
