Organize Your Office Space
One of the first steps to wanting to sit down at the computer, is to create a fun space that is: comfortable to sit in, organized so you know where everything is, set up to have a place for everything.
My initial step is to clear the room. Get everything in a nearby hallway and design the space before anything goes back in. It’s a good time to toss old items that have no meaning for the work you will be doing there.
If you need to clean and paint — do it while empty. Slowly fill it with what you want and need. Files can be labeled so that finding an item is easy. Desks, chairs, file cabinets and cupboards will make you want to be in there.
Make it yours — no one else can set it up like you!
