HOME OFFICE ORGANIZING
There are several things you can do to organize an efficient home office:
- If you don’t have a specific room, delineate a space by creating a zone with a rug or room screen divider.
- Consider buying a designated table or desk for your computer.
- another idea is to purchase a desk armoire to house your “office”
- Further create smaller zones in your office space, such as:
- storage for office supplies-could be a cabinet, shelf or closet
- reference area for books, CDs, and magazines
- a file cabinet or a file tote
- Create an area for a calendar, schedules and to-dos
- Consider purchasing a dry erase weekly calendar board
- sync your calendar board with your electronic calendar
- Post goals, schedules and Vision Board in a visible space (To-dos should be in a day planner or in an app)
- Consider this neat, customizable Daily Planner System from Pottery Barn
- Magnetic dry erase board
- Magnetic calendar board
- Corkboard
- office organizer
- Letter bin
- Chalk board
- Linen pinboard
- Use the vertical space even if it is for decorative items like pictures, art or light fixtures
- Put papers that are no longer relevant into plastic file bins and put away into long-term storage (eg: past 7 years of tax papers)
- To downsize paper clutter, consider buying a ScanSnap high speed scanner which creates searchable PDFs.
- Remember to include some decorative touches, like artwork, photographs, plants, fresh flowers and/or aquariums.
