The Best Desk Organizers for Your Workspace
See our favorite storage solutions, from desk risers to customizable wall calendars and bookshelves, and get fresh ideas for arranging your workspace.

I'm a firm believer that a neat desk can make the difference between an unproductive workday and a successful one. Instead of wasting time searching for that pen you swear you just had or looking for a sticky note with the details of an upcoming appointment, you can find things easily and complete the task at hand. (And return to a stress-relieving, clutter-free workstation in the morning.)
So, to help you start the new year off on the right foot, I've rounded up the best desk organizers for every need and budget. Check them out below and cross one more thing off your to-do list.

Whether you're working alone or have two kids sharing the same desk, you'll get great use out of this expandable organizer. Five large central compartments can be used to file papers or hold books and supplies, but the best part is that the unit itself can pivot and convert into a divider.
