Office space

Jun 28th, 2008 | By Val | Category: Organizing

What does your office space say about you? Is it somewhere you like to work or is it full of piles of work you need to get done and just basically a mess?

Make your space about you. Set it up with fresh or silk flowers depending on your allergies and put pictures out to remind you of why you work from home every second.

Create a pleasant environment that doesn’t make you tense to sit down and get to work. Also creating a goal or wish board is motivating. Pictures of furniture you want to buy, the school you hope to send the kids, the vacation you want to take. These are great ways to help you get to your goals with your sanity.



Organize your Cables

I don’t know about you, but my computer and internet cables are a mess. Especially now that I am on my laptop and not on the PC often. I don’t tend to see my desk because the kids are at it.

But we all need to pay attention and crawl down with all our electronics and vacuum them. The dust getting into the modem, computer and then sticking to all the HDMI cables is nasty and so bad for the computer.

Extend the life of your electronics and vacuum often. While you are at it, back up your data and purchase some cable organizers so they are less likely to attract the dust bunnies.



Cleaning Your Home Office or Computer Room

Your home office can be the central business center of the home, and oftentimes with all of those papers and documents, it may be hard to focus on where to get started, or exactly how to clean.

Dust is public enemy number one when it comes to a home office. It seems to pervade everything, including computer screens, keyboards, bookshelves, and desktops. Of course we all know that the leading killer of dust is pledge and a dustcloth, but here are a few tips you may not have known.



Organizing Your Home Office and Paperwork

Mar 10th, 2008 | By Val | Category: Organizing

Organizing your home office can truly be a hair raising task! By home office, I mean any area of your house which you pay bills in, write notes, send cards, store paperwork, etc. Some people are lucky to have a separate room for this purpose, and others section off an area in a room with perhaps just a desk. Either way, this article will deal with organizing this area of your life.

When organizing your home office, the first and foremost priority is going to be all that paperwork. The worst thing that has happened to me is when looking for a bill, a phone number, or important information…I just can’t find it! Even though I know that it HAS to be in there….somewhere.
