In a past life, I was super-organized. Being blessed with the gift of time, I was very good at keeping my bills organized, receipts filed and I never let paperwork stack up. I don’t have that much time on my hands these days, and no matter how hard I try to prevent it my office eventually ends up looking like a war zone.
I still file my receipts and bills…it just takes me much longer to do so. My tendency is to let things pile up and shut the door to my office until I can get to the organizing. Then I avoid stepping into the room for a while being overwhelmed by the task at hand. It’s a bad habit.
When everything is clean and organized, it just makes my mind feel less cluttered. It goes without saying that I need some help with maintaining an organized office space, and I was recently able to interview personal finance expert Farnoosh Torabi. Check out the Q & A video below!
Farnoosh has an excellent blog with many more great tips. In the interview above, she referenced some helpful products to get your office essentials organized that can all be found at Office Depot.
Here’s a fun gift card giveaway to kick-start your home office shopping.
