On Organizing Office Space - Too Much Paper, Stuff

Have you ever gone into an office space that was just riddled with paper, supplies, and things you didn't even know what they were?  One of the first things you might have done was look from left to right, lifting up a few things, and making negative comments or deep sighing.  If you are responsible for tackling the space, you might want to do the following to get the job done sooner rather than later.

1.  Organize items based on the following:  what you will be keeping, donating, and throwing away.

2.  Big items need to be either moved out of the office space or off to one side.  This way you can have a space to separate items.

3.  Box items up that will be going elsewhere.

4.  Take all paper and arrange in piles based on need.

5.  Every drawer, shelf, and closet should be cleaned out.

6.  Wipe furniture, clean unsightly markings, and do away with items that you won't be using.

7.  Be sure that every item you are keeping has a place.  Review the things you already have to help with organizing and only get additional items if there is a need for them.

Although this simplified way of organizing might help those of you who can visualize how you plan to organize your space.  However, if you need some visuals for inspiration, check out videos on this site on organizing an office space.

To your success!
