The boxless inbox
As previously mentioned (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2009/04/simple-html-editor.html), I've been revising my work setup lately, and one of the things I've dove is eliminate the box of my office inbox.

I receive documents and packages of various sizes and weights, so a basic tray doesn't work for me. I tried wire baskets, but they felt cumbersome. Thus, to accomodate all sizes, I decided to ditch containers entirely in favor of a designated "in" area.
Not only does this eliminate concerns over accommodation, but I have open space when there are no "in" items. In addition, the novelty of being boxless has made people more aware of where to put "in" items, and I'm more apt to attend to new items quickly when they're out in the open as opposed to being sequestered in a container.
Just need to come up with a permanent sign with a directional so people don't cover it directly. Oh, thanks to GottaBeMobile (http://www.gottabemobile.com/) and Motion Computing (http://www.motioncomputing.com/) for the sticky note.
