Thursday Thoughts: Organize that office clutter!

4/13/2017

Comments

 
Home offices / work spaces should provide room in which you can peacefully and efficiently work. But, clutter can stand in the way (literally!) between you and that goal. Make your workspace work for you by organizing the office clutter.

1. Use filing cabinets (or carts) well, labeling each file folder and using a system that works for you (i.e. alphabetizing, categorizing, or color-coding).

2. Use file boxes to store older files that don't need to be immediately accessed. Store these boxes in a location other than the office, such as in an attic, closet, or garage.

3. Shred all documents that you don't need anymore. Here is some more info from the IRS on how long papers should be kept: https://www.irs.gov/…/small-…/how-long-should-i-keep-records 

**If you discover you have a stockpile of papers, check out this week's Tuesday Tip and grab the coupon for free shredding at Office Depot!

4. Incorporate AT LEAST one comfort item, such as a radio, favorite picture, or stress ball that will help make work more enjoyable.
