My Organized Biz

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) – So what do you think – would you be able to come up with 24 office supplies that you like? We’re working our way through our favorites and you’re welcome to join in any time.
Number 15 is my screwdriver set. A long time ago I bought a tiny tool kit that is just for computers. It has big and small screwdrivers, tweezers, a little grabber, and a small container for extra screws and whatnot. It has a cover and a handle. It’s an all-in-one unit that I couldn’t do without for the little odd repairs around the office.

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) – My next favorite office supply? My pens. All of them. I have at least a hundred, probably more. It’s a sickness. I admit it. It doesn’t help with the clutter. But I’m constantly finding pens that make me go “Oooooh, I love the way that writes!”
One of my favorites ever has been discontinued. I can’t find it anywhere. But I stocked up when they started disappearing from the stores (thanks, eBay!) and I have plenty on hand. It’s quite possible that I will never need to buy another pen for the rest of my life. Even if I …read more

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) – We’re up to number 13. Woo! We’re just past the halfway point. By the way, my dear readers, I have to take my son to a doctor’s appointment today so I may miss an hour or two. But I promise to come back and make it up to you, as I’m sure you’re on the edge of your seats just waiting for my fascinating office supply pr0n list.
Next item: dryline correction tape. I love it. I will buy a big quantity at Costco just to make sure I don’t run out. Why? Because I hate liquid correction fluid. …read more

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) – Here we are, up to number twelve. What would be next? How about my phone? We recently bought a cordless phone set that includes two extra handsets. And it is definitely handy. No more running to the other room when the phone rings, hitting my shin on the coffee table as I hurry to catch it before the machine does.
I have a lot of bruises on my shins.
A cordless phone is convenient, as I can get up and walk around if I’m on a longer call. I would only change one thing. My last cordless had a place …read more

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) – Supply number eleven coming up! Boy, it starts getting a little tougher after you hit the top ten. But I know what my eleventh office supply is. It’s my Paper Pro stapler.
I like it because it’s so easy to use. You don’t have to slam it to staple something. It takes minimal effort to staple multiple pages. And you don’t realize how nice that is until you start using one for a while. And it’s fairly quiet, too.
What’s on your top supplies list?

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) – My tenth favorite office supply is just a simple cup to hold my pens. Many years ago I bought a desk package that had bins, a desk pad, magazine racks, and a couple of pen holders. I think I only have the pen cups remaining from that set.
It’s a simple item, but I like having my pens at my fingertips, rather than digging through my desk drawer every time I need to write something down.
And if anyone else in the house needs a pen, they can grab one from the cup without rifling through my desk. It’s not …read more

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) – Here we are with my ninth favorite office supply. That would have to be my new keyboard. I have one of those ultra-slim keyboards from Apple. It is a great space saver.
What I would really love to have, however, is an ergonomic keyboard that has Mac commands on it. They may be out there, but I just haven’t seen one yet. It’s something I’ll have to research. When I worked in an office, I had an ergo keyboard and I really liked it. I think it helps your arms and wrists tremendously.
And since we’re all on the computer …read more

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) – My eighth favorite office supply is my iPod. Yes, sometimes I like to listen to music as I work. And if I’m working from a cafe or other location, I can pop in my headphones and block out the rest of the world as I type away.
I put a lot of songs on my iPod, but find I keep coming back to a group of favorites. So I just made a playlist out of the songs I could listen to a thousand times without tiring of them. And you know what? Every once in a while a song …read more

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) – In list of lovely office supplies, we’ve come to number seven. This one isn’t really a supply, per se, but since it’s in my office I’m going to count it as such. And that’s my window.
Yes, my window is one of my favorite office supplies.
A window gives me a chance to rest my eyes by looking off into the distance. It reminds me that there’s a word out there beyond my computer, beyond what I’m doing at that moment. It nudges me to take my son outside so he can explore and learn.
The view isn’t that great, really. …read more

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) -My sixth favorite office supply is my air conditioner. Does that sound a bit crazy? We are lucky enough to live in a fairly temperate area – San Diego. However, we’re not right on the coast and it gets pretty warm during the summer.
And the place we live in has no air conditioning. Because of our son (he’s 7 months old soon), we decided to buy a portable a/c unit. And it has been one of the best things we have bought. Seriously. It sits next to my desk in the bedroom. Yes, my desk is in the bedroom. …read more
