My Organized Biz

Store like items together. I have always created zones in my home and office. At home I have an area for reading, an area for crafts and my kitchen is also broken up into zones. At my desk I also break up everything into zones and storing like items together keeps me from digging through my desk drawer looking for paper clips.

I used to be a huge fan of the sticky notes. I had them every where and before long, there were so many of them that they lost their effectiveness.

What do I do with all the other little notes I need to scribble down? I …read more

There will be no Saturday or Sweep Through Sunday posts due to the fact that I am on the road to Colorado as you are reading this. Yes, that means 3 kids, one husband, one wife, Christmas presents from “Santa” and a partridge in a pear tree stuffed in one car. I’ll let you know if we survived the trip up there once I get settled.

(He’s also very excited that his blue tooth and new cell phone are in the mail and arriving today! Hands free phone calls – it’s a dream come true for him.)
If you are a real estate agent, insurance broker or sales representative of any sort, then most likely you could use an office-on-the-go. Your mobile office could go in the trunk of your car or even the …read more

Here’s a former post I did about taming those computer cords that can easily start to take over your desk if you let them. There are some simple ways to handle them:
Cords, you can’t live with them, you can’t live without them. They often go unforgotten as an item that needs some serious organization. You don’t really think about them until you are either moving your computer or you need to plug something else in. These days it’s not just our computer that is at out desk.

One thing that I always tell people about their spaces, whether it be at home or at work, is that they need to create a space that they enjoy. You want to organize the space according to your personality and you also want to choose organizing products and decorative items that you enjoy looking at. When you feel good about the space you are in, it just does something for you. It lifts your spirits, it makes you feel more powerful and it can even make you more productive.
Well, Kelly Moore of the book “Cube Chic: Take Your Office Space …read more
