...that this is REALLY what my office looks like. I know, I know... it is literally becoming a HazMat concern!
But, I post these only to show you some before pictures, because hopefully after Thursday I will have an office that will no longer stifle my creativity... seriously, how can anyone get anything done in a space like this??!!
In the picture below, the contents in these 4 storage boxes plus the blue trash bucket were actually just moments earlier on top of my desk and in piles around my chair in the pic above. Crazy I know...
My "attack" mode has been driven by 4 categories... Throw it (that's 2, count them 1, 2 bags of shredded documents in that storage bin), Handle it (my to-do pile), File it, Store it... Once I figured out this method the rest came easy...so far so good!!! But you should have seen me this morning - I was literally googling 'how to organize' and 'organization strategies' because I was so OVERWHELMED. But, now I'm on a roll and there's no stoppin' me... Kids, watch out... if you stand in place too long I might throw you in one of my buckets... :-)In any case, Thursday is the day that we will be making a sizable "donation" to Ikea and in return we get to assemble all the desks, drawers and shelves ourselves... how kind of them ;-)
Can't wait to post my AFTER pics... stay tuned!
