My Desk Produces Paper (1.10.11)

My desk tends to produce paper. There must be some scientific marvel at work here: I clear my desk. Go to lunch. Return and miraculously, there is a pile of paper there waiting or me!

It is only Monday. By Friday, this pile will inevitably grow much larger.

Sometimes these magical appearances reoccure before I am able to eliminate the previous pile, eventually creating a veritable mountain of paper to go through. Can you say frustrating? Over the next few months I am embarking on an experiment to handle all paper that comes to my desk as follows:
Categorize it
Organize it's importance
Assign a day of the week to handle it
File it by the day it is to be done

Think this will work? Cross your fingers and knock on wood with me.
