Client Question: Clutter in My Home Office



Now that Labor Day has come and gone, most of us are getting back into our Fall routines whether it be at work or at school. I am with different clients everyday and encounter several different organizational challenges along the way.
Within this blog, I am now going to try and present some of the more general organizational projects that my clients come across and provide some solutions. Please feel free to post your solutions as well! I love to hear other creative ideas.

Q: What can I do about the countless items cluttering my home office?

A: Because most offices still haven't achieved a paperless state of mind, I suggest a general rule like "like with like." First, empty your drawers, clear your desk, and sort supplies into similar piles. Toss what you no longer use (you know, those bottles of White Out, the pens that don't work). Choose small trays to hold your paper clips, rubber bands, and other supplies. If you are short of space, try and find a modest-size rolling cart, stack of drawers, or pull-down shelf to attach under a desk or upper cabinet. That's where you can stash paper, envelopes, folders, discs, and other necessities.
