organize my office

It’s only gotten worse. I’ve accumulated more recipes to try, more crafting supplies now that I’m quilting, and more knick-knacks as I’ve redecorated some areas of my apartment. I need to get on this.

More like a desk in the guest room than an “office.” I have gone through two boxes of old paperwork and consider this task to be about 1/3 finished.

I was getting tension in my neck and shoulder. I have had help with workspace needs from a therapist who ordered me to get a great chair with armrests which can support me while I am using the mouse. I did. It is heavenly! Neck supported. Lumbar, breathable fabric…wow am I ever in heaven sitting here today.

And…I got my orchids…the outdoor plants are out in my view into the deck – and more!

Got files in order. Taxes done 2 months early this year.

I just need a better system for business card/contacts management and notes. I have a financial system working. and daily work journal intact. Monumental improvement.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for being there…

I spent 7 hours on this today and it barely made a dent. Like all projects like this it is going to take 3 times as long as I thought.

Organizing, I’m good at.
KEEPING things organized, not so much.

This begins today. I just returned home last night and I have to have a working office in order to pay our bills. It was a disaster trying to do it on the road. I am going to get everything in order and then go back to NYC one more time. I will feel so much better leaving with everything in order…actually I can’t really leave unless everything is in order. The really great thing is that I am not at all stressed about this. I am excited even knowing all the complexities that are involved.

when I get back to Texas. I need a place that is clean and organized. I think I will use the existing office. It is a total mess but cleaning it out is also on my list so it feels like a 2 birds 1 stone kind of thing.

It’s at least functional and in order now – but i think my roommare is going to re-carpet and paint the room soon, so i don’t want to get to settled in just yet.

The room is beautifully organized. I did this!!! Now, just to complete it, I have to put everything in.

Half done with electronics.

Now the paper!

Organize my office.

This is a difficult thing for many people. We become so busy in our daily affairs that we tend to procrastinate on what are perceived as ‘smaller’ issues.

However, office organizing is actually a big issue, as the more disorganized your workspace becomes, the harder it is for you to get things done. It also builds tremendous stress and anxiety.

I found things become so much easier after organizing my home office, and I can distinguish truly important priorities from the ‘smaller’ issues.
