February 2025 - Organizing your Home Office

Sometimes organizing your Home Office can be overwhelming. Let’s break it down into 3 categories:

• Desk
  • When you are organizing your desk, you can divide into zones.
    • A Zone – objects you use all the time and therefore should be closest to you
    • B Zone – you may use objects weekly, such as your shredder
    • C Zone – this is usually your storage closet. Put your extra supplies into a storage closet or cabinet
• Office Supplies
  • Take inventory of what you have at home. When you start to bring the supplies together, you will be able to see what you have too much of and other supplies that are running low. Ask yourself how many binders do you need? How many pads of papers and post-it notes?
  • Place the supplies that you need the most, in the critical zone, which is at your fingertips. This may include: stapler, scissors, pens, pencils, highlighter, sharpie marker. It would also be helpful if you had your shredder and recycle container within arm’s reach.
• Filing Cabinet
  • You may choose to file your files in your cabinet from A-Z or by categories and then alphabetically within the categories. For example, you can organize your folder into the Utility/Bills category and then you can file A-Z within the category, so your Consumer Energy goes before your Verizon bill.
  • It is also important to purge your filing cabinet on an annual basis. A good time to do this would be in January or February so as you are purging, you might find some receipts for your upcoming taxes.
