Apr 18, 2022 07:22 AM
Whether you have a home office or not, cables, papers and technology are certainly a part of your daily life. From simple tips for dealing with cables to setting up a command center for the whole family, these hacks will help you make the most of your workspace, no matter how small or large it is. There are also plenty of tips for organizing craft and hobby supplies, perfect for any creative who wants to get a handle on their projects. We also dive into the world of paper clutter (oh, how fun!) and find out what should stay, what can go, and how you can sort everything neatly.
1. When setting up your office, sort all of your materials at once before determining your storage needs.
After you have everything sorted, figure out the best way to store each item, and only then should you purchase the appropriate items. This will save you time and money and allow you to match your storage containers.
2. Napkin holders or vintage toast caddies are a stylish way to sort mail or organize small notepads or envelopes.
3. If you have multiple projects going on at once (or lots of kids with schedules and important papers to keep track of), you can set up a wall of clipboards.
Attach the clipboards to the wall with nails or adhesive hooks and use each clipboard for a different project, task, or event. Now everyone can see what needs to be done right away.
4. Build a desk by placing two medium-sized filing cabinets a certain distance apart and placing a apartment door over them. Alternatively, you can use two equally sized nightstands with drawers. Now you have a new desk with plenty of space for files or materials.
5. If you find yourself missing deadlines or paying bills late, create a place, such as a clipboard or paper tray, for "hot" papers and tasks.
Make it a habit to check them daily.
6. Stick a magnet in the lid of a canning jar and store paper clips on it. You can also fill the canning jar with other things like rubber bands so you have a one-stop store.
7. Use an old shutter as a way to display cards or memos by sliding or clipping them into the slots.
8. Glam up craft store magnets by gluing pretty rocks, game board pieces, or small trinkets to the top and attach memos or photos to magnet board or refrigerators.
