Office Organization: The Final Frontier

Handsome Portfolio Folder from Wilson Jones

by Joi

Office OrganizerOffice and Organization.   They both start with O, you’d think they’d have more in common. Why does it have to be so easy to just toss notes, index cards, and other office supplies here and there?  Why does it have to be so hard to take the time to find (say it with me boys and girls) “a place for this and a place for that… everything in its place.”  I’m kind of picturing my third grade teacher, Mrs. Applebee right now -  horn rimmed glasses and all.

The key to organization in the home, at the office, or in the home office all rises and falls on one thing: Our tools.  If we outfit our office, and arm ourselves, with the right kind of organizational tools, we almost can’t help but be organized.  The right kind of office supplies for organization can actually keep us from getting in our own way.

The Wilson Jones Padfolio/Sorter, Polypropylene, Clear Dividers with Tabs, Pen/Card Holders, Black (above) would like nothing more than to help us keep our work area neater and more organized.  There are some pretty powerful benefits to being sublimely organized, such as:

  1. When your office is organized, you won’t lose important notes, passwords, appointments, pens, pets…
  2. When you’re organized, you can better manage your time.  No more time spent looking for an elusive paper!
  3. Clutter and chaos lead to stress and anxiety.  When things around us are in their place (oh no, Mrs. Applebee’s back), we’re calmer and feel more in control.

Home Office in a Chest with the Brilliant Kelly Edwards

by Joi

Cool. Way, way cool. In the video below, brilliant home decorating expert Kelly Edwards shows how you can basically build a home office in a box.

Anyone who works from home, as I do, knows the challenge of trying to keep your home office looking more like a home and less like an office. I try very hard to keep my books, folders, notebooks, office supplies, and so on kind of on the low. We have nice-looking shelves, cool organizers, and so on, but this office in a chest is simply beyond anything I’ve ever even dreamed of.

Check it out – I know you’ll be as impressed as I am.

Sleek Bulletin Board for Office Organization and Amusement

by Joi

$2.99 Shipping. Bulletin Board-Large-15" x 21"-Metal/Cork Underlay

I love the message board that hangs near my desk in my home office.  I can place reminders on the board to keep me from forgetting important events – you know, like the next time UK plays basketball…. opening day for baseball…. what the next Ace of Cakes will be about – important stuff.  I also have a few inspirational quotes, a few Audrey Hepburn collector stamps, an adoption certificate from where I adopted a shark (I’ve told you I’m shark crazy, right?), a picture of my daughters when they were about 4, 6, and7 doing the see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil routine, cat pictures, and a comic strip or two.

I believe in keeping things that make you smile within eye-shot at all times…. especially when you’re working.  It keeps you from becoming a grumpity grump.

The too handsome for his own good $2.99 Shipping. Bulletin Board-Large-15″ x 21″-Metal/Cork Underlay (above) is ideal for any office – home or away. The large size allows plenty of room – after all, some people need more help avoiding the slippery slope of grumpdom than the rest of us.

Perforated metal over a soft center lets you use both magnets and pushpins to post reminder notes, messages, comic strips, photos, artwork, etc.  Whatever keeps you interested, happy, attentive, or all of the above.

From Stacks and Stacks:
This magnetic bulletin board comes with a set of sleek silver pushpins and magnets. This wall mount message board is perfect for the kitchen, home office, laundry room or anywhere you need to post notes. Both sizes of memo boards come with silver hardware on back for wall hanging; nail or thumbtack needed for mounting. You’re your home and office members up to date with these stylish message boards!
Magnetic bulletin boards are available in two sizes:
Large Bulletin Board measures 15″ x 21″

Office Organization With the Leather Office Wire Rack

by Joi

Leather Office Wire Rack

True story.  This morning, as I was rummaging through 765,854,494.3 papers for just the one I needed, my oldest daughter, Emily, was frantically getting ready for school.  She was rummaging through her earring collection looking for just the pair of hoops that her top dictated.  Killer top, by the way.

When we collided in the kitchen… somewhere near the coffee pot…  she said, “I’ll be a few minutes late this afternoon.  I’m going to stop by the store for an earring organizer.  I’m not wasting 5 minutes like that again.”

The girl has zero tolerance for anything that gets her off of her set path.  I like that!   With coffee in her hand and a purpose in her mind, she went off on her way.  With coffee in my hand a Faith Hill song on my mind I returned to my papers.  All 765,854,494.3 of them.  Emily, her dad (aka the hubby), and I are alike in many ways – for example, we generally each have coffee in our vicinity, we love UK basketball and St. Louis baseball, and we have a strong respect for catfish and hush puppies.  However, we do differ in a few ways.  He likes the Giants, she likes the Packers, and I (the brains of the operation) love the Broncos.

Another way we differ is their approach to organization.  They’re for it.

If you, too, like to know where your things are and don’t want to take the time to browse through a mountain of papers looking for the perfect one (while singing along with Faith), you’ll want to take a closer look at office organizers, such as the Leather Office Wire Rack (above).

Organize Your Office with Gorgeous Files and Trays from Rose Lane Cottage

by Joi

There’s a fine balance between running a HOME office and a home OFFICE. One side of my brain wants our home office to have nothing on its mind but business. I don’t want anything getting in the way of work glorious work. The other part of my brain (the fancier part) wants everything to be “pretty” and “homey.”

So I try to fill our home office with good looking, yet functional, items. The fancy pants side of my brain usually wins out, so I generally shop around for less-stuffy looking accessories and necessities.

When it comes to file holders, appliances, gadgets, and such, I usually stick with the color black. It looks so classy… so cool. It also goes with any other color scheme you throw its way. Also, unlike white accessories, which I used to be hooked on, they don’t show dings as badly.

That’s why I’ve fallen hard for these organizers from Rose Lane Cottage. They’re great-looking and functional. Rose Lane Cottage has a lot of gorgeous things for the home office (or a laid back “home away from home” office). There are lovely wall hangings for the office, folders, files, accessories, binders, clocks, notebooks, etc.

The Black Wire Letter Trays (Set of 2) and the Black ETC Wire File Folder Holders are also available in white. They’re so stylish and gorgeous, and would be the perfect place to “catch” all of the loose papers, envelopes, and, well… whatever this stuff is on my desk.

Rose Lane Cottage is a really fun website to browse, you’ll find so many things that’ll strike your fancy. And a fancy just isn’t worth having until it’s been struck.
