How can I keep my office uncluttered with limited storage space?
GGGG lou EEEE asked:
I am a manager of a school office. My office is 8 x 12 with 2 “full” 4drawer lateral files, two upper cabinets with doors and I large shelf above my L shaped desk. I have no windows. How can I better utilize the space I have to make my office “seem” uncluttered? I want my office to look presentable when dealing with parents, but it always feels so cluttered and messy.

Have you seen those 17 gallon containers with the wheels on the bottom? They are great for the over stuffed drawers of the filing cabinet, just put some folders in them and place them under your desk. In the cabinet I would use the organizers that hold binders, they come in all colors, this way you can put up papers and other items that might clutter your desk. Use a really nice coffee cup for your pens and such. The shelf above your desk should hold items you call motivational to yourself. A plant for oxygen, a couple of sitters and you have your space. You can get creative with the metal box of your cabinets, use spirit themed magnets to show off pictures done by students just for you!
Be creative, your office should reflect the real you, the person you have become to help students and parents into a brighter path.
Good luck! ebay_convert

You can put things normally on your desk in baskets or similar containers on the floor. For quick cleaning up (but not necessarily the best way) you can try “neat” piling. Also, try putting things you don’t need at home or dispose them; although I know when you work at a school almost everything cannot be disposed.=] Viv
