Everything must have a place, and everything must be returned to that place after using it or you're done with it. Even if you are disorganized, you can still be organized with this alone. Just remember where you put each thing being handled.
Throw out what you don't need anymore. Accumulation is the mother of all disorganization.
Everything in paper form needs a consistent sorting process to enter into and exit from. Filter in 3 main priority stages if you get overloaded. Immediate attention, high priority, low priority.
Make sure you have sufficient shelves, file cabinents, etc. You can't be organized if you don't have the infrastructure setup to process and store things.
Time organization management. Allocate your time in sync with the priorities of each thing you handle. Don't waste time on bullshit and you won't keep creating more bullshit pileups for yourself.
