Timely Tips for the Office

The office is one place that is always in need of great organizational tips.

Try some of these on for size!

**************************************************

office organization 1

Why not create a place in your office for your daily schedule and for organizational binders holding specific categories.

The chalkboard makes a great daily schedule tool.

The binders are from Staples and are standing in a kitchen baking sheet organizer.

Purchase a drawer system like the one pictured here.  This is the  Alex system from IKEA and easily holds all your office stuff

Some categories here might be craft supplies, labelers,

mail stuff (envelopes, stamps, return address stickers),

markers, paper supplies, budget tools, office tools,  and stickies

*******************************************************

office org. 3

Why not create a filing trunk.  Just repurpose an old trunk to hold all your files.

When you are done, just close the lid to hide it all, and use the top for a seat.

***********************************************************

office org. 4

Of course, it goes without saying that desk drawers must be organized to save time and money.

These holders and boxes are from the Martha Stewart’s home office organizing collection.

But you can just repurpose old jewelry boxes or dollar store boxes of different sizes and shapes.  No need to spend too much!

***********************************************

office org. 5

Organizing your arts and crafts supplies doesn’t have to be dreary.

Use pretty jars and crocks on shelving to organize all those markers, chalks, colored pencils and paints.

Be on the lookout for jars and crocks at yard sales, estate sales and thrift stores.

Thanks to a Bowl Full of Lemons and The Idea Room.net for all the great tips!

Sue’s Story

I've been a professional organizer most of my adult life. Who I am and why I love my work comes from how I was raised and the mysteries of DNA!

From the most humble of beginnings in Kentucky to helping businesses and organizations across the U.S., I always try my best to share both practical and inspirational principles and techniques.

I hope you enjoy your visit here and come back often. And feel free to call or email anytime.

Even though you might reach me on my porch looking out at the Colorado Rockies, a born and bred Kentucky girl enjoys a good chat.

Order out of Chaos
