Getting Rid Of The Clutter In Your Home Office

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0500

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. You should make it a daily practice to deal with your mail. 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. **End Summary** Topics: feng shui life]]> feng shui tip]]> feng shui office]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> If you want an organized home and office, check this out: http://alternativemedicinebasics.com/organizeyourhome For A Feng Shui Life, http://alternativemedicinebasics.com/fengshuilife
