In today's topic, I will be explaining to you what and why I chose a desktop organizer. I chose a desktop organizer because I needed to declutter my desk. What a desktop organizer is, is a box or open tray, typically kept on the surface of a desk, divided into compartments for such office supplies as pens, pencils, paperclips, etc. They are meant to help keep your items in a small compact space.
