GoTip #17: Make your desk 25% bigger

Quiz time! How do you get more desk space without buying a new one?
Expensive answer: Get a new flat panel monitor. These sleek numbers give you not only more desk space, but are finally shifting the balance of desk space control back into your hands, from years of being hostage to bulky hardware.
Cheap answer: Use letter sized file folders instead of legal ones. Practically every office I go into is still using legal sized file folders, but 99% of their paperwork is letter sized! Treat yourself to some new letter sized folders (pick some jazzy colours), or simply cut your legal sized ones down to letter size, or fold up the excess and tape the outside edges to make handy file pockets.
Reclaiming desk space has never been easier, but it can vary in price!
