Your desk may reveal more to your co-workers and boss than you may think. In fact, a recent survey conducted on behalf of a desktop solutions line suggests there are three distinct organizational types in the typical office-“pilers,” “filers” and “tossers.” Chances are, the person who has heaps of piles on the desk sits next to you, the obsessive filer sits across from you and the person who throws everything away is down the hall.
“The fact that you can never find anything on a co-worker’s desk when you need it seems to suggest that everyone has their own system of organization,” said Sharon Mann, organizational expert and president of the 100,000-member I Hate Filing Club. “This recent study supports this belief as it divides workers into three organizational types: pilers, filers and tossers. With pilers comprising the largest segment of the workforce, developing PileSmart-a line catering directly to pilers’ needs-was simply the right solution.”
According to Mann, your organizational style may actually reveal intimate details about your character. So, how do you stack up?
