Spring Project Complete: Cleaning and Organizing My Office

Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Fellowes Bankers Boxes. I received product samples and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.  

DisclosureCan you believe it?  I actually worked in this office for the past 6 months.  It wasn’t doing much for my creativity or productivity for that matter.  I often misplaced things and nearly missed deadlines due to the unorganized mess I called My Office.   I’m so glad I took on the Spring project of getting some sort of system into place with the Fellowes Bankers Box Stackable Storage.

I have been wanting to do this for some time now, but just haven’t had the chance.  I knew it would be a time consuming  project but I had no idea it would take me over three weeks to clean and organize a small home office.  Since I am a self confessed paper hoarder the project was especially difficult. I had to go through thousands and thousands of random pieces of paper, receipts, bills, and magazines to decide if it was going to go into the “keep” or “trash” pile.  Once I narrowed down my “keep” pile I had to further break it down into various categories.  The Fellowes Banker Boxes made it much easier because the window allowed me to get to the right box with little or no problem.

Since the boxes came in so many different sizes it allowed me to tuck and store all the things I deemed “keep” without looking cluttered.  My husband and my kids were shocked at how organized my office turned out.  Now that I have all that done it’s time to finish painting and decorating.

What do you think?

About Fellowes Bankers Box Stackable Storage Products

One of the reasons I decided to use the Fellowes brand is because they are known for their high quality bankers boxes, but this particular line is especially stylish.  The clear windows makes it easy to identify what’s inside.  This is of particular importance considering I will probably need more boxes than most people and reading a million labels might be asking too much.  I also appreciate the fact that they are made from 60% recycled content that makes them a more environmentally friendly choice!

You can find them on Amazon this month in a variety of sizes with special promotional pricing!

    It looks great. You did a wonderful job and I am going to enter that Messiest Closet contest that Fellowes is having so i can get some of those boxes.

  2. Great job! Yep! Regardless of your office’s official utilization, you can’t finish much in there assuming that it’s a chaotic mess. Unless you’re cleaning your work stand, clearing the deck and filtering out your recording framework with some consistency, you could end up lost in a tangle of wires and covered in heaps of papers.
