I recently ran across this New York Times article in which the writer visited Google’s headquarters. What struck him was the number of monitors on each developer's desk--two or more per user. One of the main reasons I recommend two monitors is that it saves time and boosts productivity.

Keeping track of gifts received

When opening presents during birthday parties, wedding or baby showers, and the holidays, use small mailing labels to jot down the name of the giver and stick it on the gift so you can track who gave what.

How to increase productivity in your office cubicle
