What systems work best for keeping a U-shaped desk organized long-term?

The most effective organizational system for U-shaped desks uses zone designation: main surface = active work only, credenza bridge = reference and ongoing projects, return = meeting and secondary tasks, hutch = supplies and stored files. Use a label maker on hutch drawers and file folders. Empty the main surface every Friday — items left there all week tend to become permanent clutter.
