I only have a small desk for doing my work, opening and answering emails, writing reports.
This small desk is now cluttered with paper, calendar, tupperware and trinkets.
I really want my desk minimalist and clean again. I need help & tips on how to make my desk clean again. Should I use baskets?

Advice please

First of all, don't buy any organizing stuff yet.

Then, clear off your desk. Pick up EACH object or piece of paper and decide right then what to do with it. Then, do it.

Why is Tupperware on your desk? Put it where it should be----most likely the kitchen.

Trinkets----if you want minimilist, then these don't belong on your desk.

Bill paying---Google "how to organize bill-paying" and you'll find a lot of ideas.

Do you have a shredder? It's invaluable to keep paper clutter at bay. Once you have your paper pile under control, keep it that way.

You might want a very simple filing system to put papers in. Again, Google and see what works for you.

My desk is very small so I have to constantly deal with it. It can be done, though.
