How to organize my desk?

There is room on the top of my desk to put stuff. I cleaned it up because before there was heaps of unnecessary junk. Now I only have a trophy, a tiny pot plant, some figurines, and a cup for my rubbers. This takes up only a quarter of the desk. All my books and folders are all on the bottom part along with my computer and stationary. What can I put at the top of my desk?How to organize my desk?
Purge, Sort %26amp; Store!



Purge:

鈥?Start by emptying your desk of all its contents. This includes the desk top and drawers as well as underneath.

鈥?Go through each item one by one, and decide if it is worth keeping.

鈥?In order to make decisions for office supplies, ask yourself appropriate questions (Does it still work? How old is it? How many do I have?).

鈥?As you make decisions, put the discards in their corresponding pile/bag/box - Recycle, Shred, Trash.

鈥?Complete the purge by taking out the discards.



Sort:

鈥?Now that you can see what and how much you have, separate your items into categories (i.e. files, post-its %26amp; paper pads, writing utensils, paper clips, binder clips, and so on).



Store:

鈥?Take a damp cloth and some cleaning solution, and give your desk a good wipe down before returning the categorized items to it.

鈥?The kind of desk you have determines how and where to store your categorized items.

鈥?Let's say you have a corner desk with a few shallow drawers and a file drawer. Use the shallow drawers to hold your office supplies and the file drawer for your active (often referenced) files. Use some desk space for a desktop organizer to hold some office supplies, a file rack for the files you reference daily, and a paper tray for action items or incoming papers.

鈥?Or let's say you have just a desk top with two shelves above it that run the length of the desk. Since you have no storage cabinets or drawers, utilize decorative but functional boxes to label and separate your office supplies.



Maintain:

鈥?Take 5-10 minutes at the end of each day to put items in their proper places. This simple task will maintain your initial desk organization efforts.

鈥?A few times a year, go through your desk and get rid of all unnecessary items. This keeps your work space current and ready for the constant cycle of paper and supplies going in and out.

Make it a habit to put everything away and off the top of your desk so you can have "a clean slate" to work on. each time you sit down. Find other surfaces for your "stuff." A simple vase of flowers or a cup of pencils is all you need if anything. Utilize the desk drawers so they work for you for storage.How to organize my desk?
You should use organizing materials like binders, folders and even book ends for your books. You can use the link I provided if you would like to buy some.
I'd wait for the tiny pot plant to get bigger,smoke some,and see what ideas come to mind.
