Feng Shui Life - Getting
Rid of The Clutter In Your Home Office
 By Laurie

Our home office is the
place where we pay bills, organize recipes and photos, make
schedules, design calendars, and quite often, make a living.
Our home office has become the foundation of our household.
With so much going on there, it is no wonder our home office
often becomes disorganized, overflowing with papers,
envelopes, cd's, coffee cups. It can get very confusing and
overwhelming. When our desk is clean and organized our
stress is lessened and we become more productive. If your
messy desk is overwhelming you, it might be time to take a
long, hard look at what can be done.
Mail is probably the
biggest contributing factor to our messy desktops. Get in
the habit of dealing with your mail on a daily basis. Toss
what you can, place those things that need to be shredded
into a shredding bin and shred them once per week, and file
the rest away properly. This might also be the time to
update your filing system and make folders for current years
or months.
Another culprit of office
clutter is computer storage media such as CDs, DVDs and
floppy disks. Take the time to ensure each is properly
labeled and placed in a protective file or case. Categorize
and alphabetize them for easy access.
If you have an office area
that is commonly used by all family members, it can easily
become cluttered with glasses, coffee cups, food wrappers
and dirty dishes. If your office area is small, a no food
and beverage rule should be established to prevent damage to
your computer in case of spills. This would help to
eliminate some of the clutter as well. If you spend a
considerable amount of time during the day in your office
and your office space is large enough, provide for an area
far from the computer and other electronic equipment where
food and drink can be set without the fear of ruining
equipment should a spill occur.
If you utilize a bulletin
board, take the time to make sure all the items posted on it
are current. Any items that are not current should be filed
or thrown away. Your calendar should always be set at the
current month so you can check all your scheduled activities
or appointments at a glance.
Office supplies have a way
of easily cluttering up our workspace as well. Take the
extra time to clean out and organize desk drawers if
necessary and make sure all office supplies have a home
other than the top of your desk.
By thinking, planning and
using discipline, your home office can become a productive,
efficient and serene place to work.
