A Place For Everything

I’m trying to organize my stuff in my office. For the most part, I do have a somewhat useful way of organizing things. I keep all my manuals and CDs from computers and other electronics in one convenient place. It may take me 30 minutes or so to go through them to find what I want, but they’re all there. It works for me.

My biggest problem is the miscenllaneous office supplies. Pens have their place; jump drives are nearby. But I have two full drawers of things I don’t use often but might need eventually. You know, things like packing tape, box cutters, an ink pad, a paper punch. These things are useful but I need them only a few times each year. So I store them. The problem is, they’re taking up space I could use for more important things like extra notepads or a phone book.

I need to reevaluate my storage space. I’m getting that “urge” to re-do my office. Let’s hope it passes before I tear everything apart and wish I hadn’t!
