Organizing Your Office – Top 10 Things Every Office Needs to be Organized



1. A good calendar to keep track of events – paper or electronic, whichever works for you.

2. A label maker. Label every cord, file and bin so you know what’s in it.

3. Action File. Portable file container that holds papers that correspond to appointments on your calendar. This file will hold play tickets, school forms, directions to client’s businesses or home, plane tickets, travel lists, etc.

4. A business card binder, file box or scanner.

5. Garbage can.

6. A shredder.

7. Supply cabinet/closet/drawer.

8. Off site records storage. Don’t keep archived files in with your active files. This storage could be a seldom used area of your office, a closet, or the attic, etc.

9. Small bins/boxes. They keep small things organized and together to maximize space in your drawers and on your shelves.

10. Letter opener. A letter opener may not be necessary, but it sure beats having paper cuts and they are so inexpensive.
