Organize Your Home Office Space

Posted by Katelyn Thomas May 31, 2008

Are you overwhelmed by so much clutter in your home office that you think professionals would throw up their hands and run screaming out the door? Would The Leaning Tower of Pisa be put to shame by your piles? As astonishing as it seems, you can organize your office space all by yourself and it will only take you 15 minutes a day.

FlyLady is known by busy moms everywhere as the woman who gave them back their homes. She has created some great methods for taming clutter and mess in increments of 15 minutes a day and many of those tips work well for the home office, too. You can handle 15 minutes, right?

So, set your egg timer or your watch alarm and grab one of those paper towers, a recycling bin, your shredder and that fantastic empty file drawer you set up when you designed your home office. Sort and shred until the timer goes off. Repeat the whole process tomorrow and then continue repeating it until that clutter has disappeared.
