Is This Your Home Office

For those of us who work at home, and there are quite a few of us out there, we need a organized and decluttered office to be able to work effectively. Whether it's your own space or you share it with your kids, your area or office need to be organized and clutter free in order for your creative juices to get flowing. OK so my son has a poster in his room that say a messy room is a sign of a genius, I think NOT!

First things First 

As with any organizing and decluttering project, you need to be prepared and ready for battle. Before you begin, choose your weapons.

Garbage bags, yes you are going to throw out what you don't use. Papers that have your personal information should be shredded or disposed of safely.

Sort, Sort and Sort 

As you begin, sort, sort and sort. What does your ultimate organized and decluttered office look like? What are you trying to accomplish? Keep these in mind as you sort through your office.

As you organize and declutter your office, throw out any old papers, flyers, etc that you no longer need.

Create and set up files that pertain to your different business areas. If you do not have a storage area, you can use decorate storage boxes to add character to your office. Keep the files that you use frequently easily accessible.

Organize Your Storage Boxes 

For your older files that you want to store, use storage boxes and label every box on the side and top with the contents and year. These cargo boxes are sturdy enough for storage.
