Actually Joe Sugarman (the marketer who made the usage of 1800 toll free numbers in ads popular) tested this out a couple of decades ago for his entire company.
Doesn't matter if people have organized desks or chaotic desks. Doesn't matter if they have a minimalistic desk or a cluttered one. Just follow one rule: shut down everything before you leave for the day.
At the end of the day, everything should be in its proper place. You can't have 3 folders open on your desk - they have to be closed and put in its place on the shelf.
That one rule gave a tremendous boost to employee productivity.
- jsankey 17y agoThis sounds interesting, but unfortunately I was unable to find any more significant information about the tests. It seems that it's mentioned in a few of Sugarman's books but that's it. In particular I'm interested in how controlled the tests were and how they measured productivity? Would I find this kind of detail in the books?
