In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you find yourself reaching for certain things a lot, make sure they're accessible. Give some thought to how frequently you reach for certain items on your desk and arrange them in order of importance. By taking this approach, you can streamline the process of finding and using various supplies. Writing utensils, typing paper, notebooks, communication devices and digital accessories might all be kept out in the open, or somewhere else that you can get to easily. Separate pens and pencils into a cup to keep them together and ready to use without taking up too much space. Leave paper clips and staplers near the printer or wherever you complete paperwork. You can save as much as an hour a day by minimizing the time it takes you to hunt for things in a messy desk. Non-essential supplies that see a lot of use can go in drawers so that you can take them out as they're needed. Reserve the top drawers of your desk for larger items and things that you use often but don't necessarily need to keep out on the desktop. For instance, you might find that you use your laptop, tablet and other electronic devices more often than pen and paper for completing your work. In this case, these secondary materials can be stored away close at hand while leaving your desk clear for your electronics. If you have a lot of smaller items, buy some desk drawer organizer trays. These fit neatly into the drawers of your desk and are made up of compartmentalized sections that let you keep everything organized and visible in its proper place. Make a mental priority list of where things should go in your workspace. If you use an item frequently or it's important to keep up with, leave it on your desktop. If you have a need for it every now and then, secure it in a nearby drawer. If you rarely use it or it doesn't really belong on your desk, find someplace else to keep it. Anything you decide to keep but don't need on hand at your desk should be stored elsewhere so that it doesn't accumulate and turn into a mess. This includes personal items, snacks and beverages and gadgets you only need on rare occasions. Written documents should go into folders and then into a filing cabinet, while other materials might need to be put away in a bottom drawer or closet if they're not likely to be used. Keep as much off and out of your desk as you can, except for the things that you have to have. Try to get in the habit of putting away things after you've used them. Otherwise, they have a tendency to accumulate on your desktop or get stuffed into a drawer that can quickly fill up with junk. To facilitate sorting paper documents, invest in a letter tray. These are shallow, multi-tiered containers that allow you to designate each level for incoming and outgoing paperwork, as well as answered and unanswered mail. By confining your written materials to a letter tray, folders and a filing cabinet, you'll prevent your desk space from becoming overwhelmed by loose paper. Using a paper tray, or multiple trays for different purposes, is a simple trick that can help eliminate the majority of paper clutter on your desk. Have one tray ready for finished/unfinished paperwork, another for incoming/outgoing mail, etc. Some people might have to make use of a communal desk or partitioned cubicle while at the office, or your desk may just be in close proximity to others, leaving you with a limited amount of room. You can still take steps to tame a shared space. First, make sure there are clear boundaries in place to distinguish what belongs where. Then, you can begin organizing your own section to maximize order and efficiency. Label your personal materials and keep them close to where you sit. Identify which paperwork is yours and sort it into individual file folders, and from there into drawers or paper trays. Have a designated place for shared supplies so that extraneous clutter doesn't spill into your area. Carry a backpack or briefcase to help you keep tabs on your stuff. If you're working in a setting with shared space and storage, you might not be able to keep as many supplies and belongings on your desk or in nearby drawers. Stay on top of regular sorting and cleaning to keep a shared desk or workspace from turning into a mess. More people concentrated into the same confined area means more trash, stray papers and general disarray.
Summary: Keep your most essential items close at hand. Put frequently used items in easy-to-reach drawers. Store unused clutter out of the way. Use a letter tray to keep up with paperwork. Get your shared work area under control.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: For thin sheets of plexiglass that are up to 316 inch (0.48cm) thick, scoring the sheet and then snapping it is an easy way to cut it. Place the sheet down flat on a table or a work station so you can measure and cut on a stable surface. Make sure the surface is clean and clear of any objects that could impede your work or potentially mark or damage the sheet. Use an even and stable structure that doesn't wobble. With the sheet laid flat on the work surface, use a ruler as a guide and draw a straight line where you want to cut the sheet. Make the line visible and be careful not to smudge the marker. Use a dry-erase marker so you can erase it after you cut the sheet. Make sure the sheet is flat and stable on the surface. Apply firm pressure and use a ruler to guide your utility knife as you drag it across the line you marked to score the sheet of plexiglass. Run the knife over the line 10 or 12 times, until you've made a deep groove in the sheet. You can also use a scoring tool to make your cuts if the blade is sharp enough to cut the plexiglass. The deeper you can make your cuts, the easier it will be to snap the board. After you've formed a deep groove in 1 side of the plexiglass, grab the sheet by the sides and flip it over to expose the other side. Cut along the same line that you cut on the other side to further score the sheet. Score the plexiglass until you've formed a groove in the sheet. Be careful when you pick up the sheet so it doesn't bend or warp before you're ready to snap it. Once you've finished scoring the sheet, move it into a position that will make it easier for you to snap it off. Move the sheet so the portion that you plan to snap off is hanging over the edge. Be sure the entire portion that you plan to break off is hanging over the edge of the work surface. Use a spring or a C clamp and apply it to a part of the sheet that you don't plan to cut. Apply the clamp so it's attached to the sheet of plexiglass and the surface that you're working on so the sheet doesn't move. Be careful not to tighten the clamp so much that it puts a dent or divot in the sheet. With the sheet of plexiglass clamped in place on the work surface, apply quick, downward pressure to break off the piece that you cut. The sheet should break cleanly along the line that you scored in it. You can use 1 hand to brace the sheet while you push down on the sheet with the other hand. If the sheet doesn't fully break along the line, use your utility knife to cut along the groove and break off the piece.
Summary:
Lay the plexiglass flat on a work surface. Draw a line with a dry-erase marker where you want to cut the board. Use a utility knife to cut along the line you marked on the board. Flip the sheet over and score the other side. Position the sheet so the portion that you cut is hanging over the edge. Clamp the sheet in place to the surface. Snap off the cut portion of the plexiglass.
