One method for reducing clutter is simply to hire an assistant whose sole job is to keep the office tidy. This is essentially a secretary, but the position requires a lot more than computer work. This assistant will have to handle everything that is clutter-oriented. He or she can easily:

Discard outdated articles and magazines. You can usually find old issues online if you want them.

Maintain an organized list or rolodex of sources, doing away with all those little slips of paper where crucial information has been jotted down.

Preserve document originals and minimize the need to keep any duplicates.

Organize supplies and determine which are redundant. Many office supplies are simply unnecessary and drain money in addition to causing clutter.

Whether you hire an assistant or take on the project yourself, know that having a tidy office will do both you and your clients a world of good.
