Is your work area more cluttered than calming? If so, here’s a selection of clever, innovative products that can speed your workflow. All are available at popular office superstores and online retailers – and all are priced at $25 or less.

To organize files . . .

Inclined desktop file sorters keep your working files upright and organized neatly. Because the files in the back of the sorter are positioned higher than those in the front, it is easy to see and retrieve the files you need.

Products: Rolodex MeshTop Sorter ($11.99). Popular office superstores sell other models too (about $11.00).

Wall-mounted file pockets hold files and paperwork in little bins that attach to the wall. We like the clear plastic models, because they let you see what’s inside.

Product: Deflect-o Docupocket (about $10.00 for one). Also see competing models from popular office superstores (about $19 for a pack of three).

Colored file folders let you easily organize projects by color – and find them faster.
