Here is a GREAT little book I read: Order From Chaos by Liz Davenport

Is your office a mess? Are your files totally disorganized? Perhaps you are setting up your office for the first time?

This book will definitely help you get organized! Keep it close so you can refer back to it often!

Stop interrupting yourself by organizing your office and workspace. Keep the frequently used tools, ones used every day, closest and within immediate reach of you. Items you use weekly keep close enough that you can reach it without getting out of your chair. Everything else needs a place that you have to stand up to retrieve it.

By keeping the frequently used items within arm’s reach keeps you from getting up to retrieve them. If you have to get up to get up to get something, you are more likely to become distracted with something else, lose your focus and momentum.

Use your computer to improve your home organization. Create a spreadsheet using a program like Excel to create a basic grocery list. Leave the first column blank (use to check an item needed). Second column is for the grocery item, third column for a description (frozen, canned, fresh produce etc).

Place an X   in the first column next to the items you need, you can sort by the items with an X in the first column. You can also sort by the description and have your list organized by the area of the store.
