 People Always Ask…What Do I Do with My Office Supplies?
In addition to being a Professional Organizer, I also teach organizing courses and people always ask me "what do I do with my office supplies?" Listed below is my recommendation; however, if you live in the Washington, DC metropolitan area you can register for my always sold-out Organize Your Office (2/28) course via this link https://registration.arlingtonadulted.org/ShowSchedule.awp?&Search=INSTRUCTOR&Target=MDAwMDAwMDAwMjA3&Title=Courses%20Taught%20by%20Heather%20Cocozza
At your desk you should only keep items that you use on a regular basis. Your office desk is not for long-term storage. If you go to Staples or Office Depot and buy a five pack of staples, you should not keep all five boxes of staples in your desk drawer. At least four of those boxes would be taking up value desk space for things that you use on a more regular basis.
Split your office supplies into two categories: basic office supplies and bulk office supplies. Basic office supplies are the items you use on a weekly basis: a small amount of binder clips, one roll of tape, one pack (at max) of staples, two sticky pads, a couple of pens, a couple of pencils, etc. Bulk office supplies are the other 15 sticky pads, 9 pads of 8 ½" x 11" lined notepaper, 6 rolls of tape, 12 yellow highlighters, etc.
Basic office supplies can be stored at your desk and bulk office supplies should be stored in a supply closet, a supply cabinet or a shelf that is not within arm's length of your desk. There are lots of containers on the market that can neatly hold your bulk office supplies on a shelf.
