Home Office Essentials: Organize Your Desk With These Tips

It's easier to be more productive when your home office is clutter-free, right? Get ready to face each workday with neat desk - here are some tips to keep it that way.

1. Pin important phone numbers and to-do lists to a cork board.

As they say, out of sight is out of mind. Stay on top of tasks and keep those to-do lists visible by adding a cork board to an area where you can easily see it.

2. Save time looking for things by using clear boxes for storage.

Trying to guess what's inside a box - especially when there's a lot of them - is not only stressful, but is also a waste of time. Store pens and other office supplies in clear boxes for easy identification. Save on space by choosing ones that are stackable.

3. Label everything. 

Label envelopes, folders, boxes, notebooks, and other home office essentials with important details - this will help remind you of what each one is for.

4. Use a color coding system for your documents.

Separate receipts, billing statements, office reports, and other  important documents by filing them in colored folders or envelopes.

5. Shred files you no longer use. 

A shredder is useful to have at home, especially when you have a lot of paperwork you no longer use, but may have confidential information that should not be seen by anyone else.

6. Organize your gadgets (especially the cords).

One of the things that stresses us out are tangled gadget cords. You can repurpose paper clamps to keep them organized.

Having a place for everything, and everything in its place is the secret to an organized and stress-free home office. We hope these work for you!
