My desk

Today, I will finish all my paperwork.
I've been trying to expedite my paperwork, but the documents are always piled up on my desk. I am considering if there is a better way to sort the papers.
I usually arrange the papers into categories, but some of the papers are booklets. Each booklet has several categories on it.
I usually copy the documents that I think are important with the photocopier just in case, so I have several of the same documents. This fills my desk with documents.

I tried doing things differently. I attempted to tear off parts of the documents and filed it in another folder. Several weeks later, I couldn't find the document which I teared off. How can I fix this situation? I am the worst of the worst at keeping things tidy and in order. Anyway, I will do my best.

Now, I have finished dinner and am drinking a coke highball. I drink neither whisky nor coke, but this is so good. I'll get some more.
