Since we’re all still here, and perhaps you’re stuck in the office because the powers-that-be decided the office should stay open (but they’re out until after the New Year), spend the next few days and clear some clutter.

Make a list of those pesky things that you really need to get done – and do them while no one is there to bug you – or place judgment as to why you’re rearranging things.

Get rid of old files. Organize your desktop folders. Clean out all that ‘scrap’ for those long gone projects that are filling up hard drives and servers.

Decide on how you want to manage your work, your clients and your colleagues this coming year. Look for ways to make it easier for everyone around you. And actually make an effort to do so.
