Easy hacks to organize home office space
Organize home office space
Struggling to organize your home office space? Welcome to the club, but it can be done. When you are buried in 12-year-old paperwork and receipts, the thought of going through it all may seem daunting at first. If you concentrate on undertaking this task one day at a time, it becomes easier and less stressful.
If you work from home, your productivity may be negatively affected by a disorganized workspace. Most people do not have the luxury of a dedicated home office space, which means then that the little they have must always be organized and efficient.
Now, let’s get started…..
First, clear everything off your desk; use the large work surface as a staging area. As you empty out each drawer, create piles of similar items on your desktop. Continue until you have emptied every possible place is for clutter to hide in this room or workspace.
You will have a lot of piles: bills, tax documents, house paperwork, investment stuff, warranties, and insurance policies. A lot. Not to mention, staplers, pens, pencils, 3-hole punches, staple-taker-outer-things and all the other necessities of a well-stocked office.
It’s not important to organize the home office space at this point, just get everything out in the open. Concentrate on sorting through it.
Anything that doesn’t belong in this room needs to be returned to its home (or sent to the trash bin). Clean the drawers and shelves that you will be using again so that everything is ready for your next task tomorrow.
These will keep your home office organized.
Organize home office files and papers
Now that you’ve gotten rid of every unnecessary paper or file in your home office space – it’s important that you organize your home office files and papers. If you have shelves and drawers, label them and allocate your paperwork and files to each of the drawers. It is also important that you label all your files. File organizers always come in handy in these situations:
