Items that you use at least twice a day, such as a dictionary, thesaurus, or style handbook, should be within arm’s reach or in a nearby drawer. Other items that you use less frequently may be stored in an adjacent drawer, or in a filing cabinet that’s not in the way when you’re working. Periodically consider different devices, such as computer trays, hanging lamps, and swivel mechanisms that could make you feel more comfortable and be more productive at your desk. Your work day is too important!
