DIY Organizing

When organizing your office you want to first analyze the space to determine what is working and what is not working. Next, you'll want to complete a functional design which highlights the priority activities for your office, the supplies you need, and storage units. The last step is the Hands-Organizing which consists of the steps below.

It is important for you to complete these steps in order:

Prepare – Gather supplies such as cleaning materials, garbage bags, empty boxes, CD player, and beverage
Sort & Purge – Group similar items, including what you plan to purge
Assign a Home – Determine where each group of items will be stored
Containerize – Keeps items grouped or separated as needed in their assigned homes to support easy retrieval
Label – Especially important if others share the space to ensure items are consistently put back where they belong
Maintain – Integrate a periodic maintenance program into your lifestyle

For specific examples, tips and worksheets for do-it-yourself (DIY) office organizing, register for the 6/16/09 Organize Your Office & Control the Paper course held in metro Washington, DC $35 one-time course.
