The Office: Part 2 Spotlight

Goals for the office:

• Remove name from mailing lists to reduce the amount of junk mail that comes into the house
• Set up a system which makes everyone in the house open and dispose of their mail and papers in a timely manner
• Create space for extra office supplies in the closet
• Donate any unused items
• Purchase new filing cabinet.
• Purchase a shredder for disposing of personal information
• Establish a landing space for all incoming papers. (Set up individual mail boxes for each member in the house)
• Set up 4 boxes labeled (keep, toss, donate, move)
• Organize corner by corner in 1 hour increments so that the task does not get too overwhelming. Set a timer and stop as soon as it goes off.
• Sort through all current papers and mail.
• Slowly but surely replace furniture to match with one comprehensive style
• Research all storage solutions before purchasing (never purchase until after the space is cleared and a plan is made)
• Everything has a home.
• Don't give up!!!
