Carrying on organizing the home

I have written about the organizing home my previous blog Home is Where the Heart is and my word press blog http://cazzachalloner.wordpress.com/2013/02/27/organizing-affectively/

So to follow on and continue on from writing about organizing the home, I would like to share my details of what I have on my computer desk. I have all my study notebooks in a magazine box file, my study guide folder and my study exercises in another magazine box file.

I have my laptop on my computer desk, my desk top monitor, my small speakers, my recycled stationary box organizer, my small stationary sliding draw organizer, my meal planner notepad and my to do book, and some postage notes.

The hard drive for my PC is under the desk along with a box of spare paper for the printer and my printer is near the desk so it is easily accessible, with spare ink cartridges and a large party bag with my Avon brochures and order forms inside.

From the details provided of the contents on my desk and underneath it, it may sound like a lot but it is all in it's rightful place neatly, I don't have piles and piles of paper on my desk.

Living in a one bedroom flat with my husband I have to use the space I have, and this is the key to organizing and de-clutter, you don't need to be a in big house or apartment you just need to make the most of the space you have.

If you have a filing cabinet then what papers you don't need instantly but may need to refer to such as a bill you may need to check, then keep filed in your filing cabinet in a file under header for example "important bills file". Categories your paper work in your filing cabinet and colour code. To separate bills but keep in one file, use plastic folders and again colour code for each bill or letters you need to keep. Don't overfill a file in your cabinet but storing one piece or paper in each file is not using the space constructively, so keep your bills in colour coded folders with stickers on the folder so you know who the bill relates to and keep in one file if it is for example banking statements, stationary orders, receipts etc.
