Kicking off the New Year does not only mean that a new quarter is upon us, but it also calls for some changes to your routine. First and foremost, it is time to get rid of your 2010 calendar and get a desk calendar for 2011. If your New Year’s resolution was not to quit smoking or drinking, then it must have been to be more organised and nothing will help you more in that regard than a big calendar that you can jot down important notes on. It is perfectly understandable if you prefer to program your entire schedule into your smartphone, but a handwritten backup never hurt anybody either.

If you are one of those people who invested in an iPod and have not seen a CD since, then this next gadget might not be for you either. I am the type of person who likes to listen to an album cover to cover and on occasion I will tap into my inner nerd and play some video games. Keeping all these disks in order is only possible with a set of CD storage drawers. While I am still an avid CD user, I have drastically cut back on the number of discs I use, so something compact is all I need.

If you think your CD collection is flooding your workspace, then you surely have other things building up as well. A set of plastic storage boxes will keep you from piling up a bunch of clutter on and around your desk. Slide all of those cables that you rarely use, but are afraid to throw away, into a box and never worry about them again.
