Papers in a Traditional Office

First, what is a "traditional" office? It is an office outside the home that usually has a door.

I recommend you keep all papers that you use on a regular basis within arm's length as you sit in your chair at your desk. However, this rule can change if you are sharing files. For example, if you have an assistant, use a small filing cabinet or bookshelf near the door of your office for files and materials you share with your assistant. If you have files that you do not use on a regular basis but need on hand for occasional reference, send them to your assistant's filing area or central files.

Also find out your company's Record Retention Guidelines. These Guidelines are usually available and have been developed by accountants and/or lawyers for legal and tax purposes, explaining how long to keep papers. If there are no retention guidelines for your company, recommend they be established. Without retention guidelines, employees tend to save too much paper because they are anxious about potentially throwing something important away.
