Because I use them rarely they are in a bin in my downstairs storage room. I have a few larger pieces of material that I don’t store here. I save my sewing scraps and have them arranged nice and pretty in one of my storage drawers. That way I don’t have to get up and grab something when I need it since it is in the drawer. Then when I am sewing, I can actually pull the drawer out and have it next to me when I am using the sewing machine. I found it easiest to group them in drawers. If you sew and have sewing supplies, gather and group them all together so they are easy to find when you need them.

All my work files get filed in a filing drawer.I sometimes take a photo of the project if they want to remember it and then recycle the paper so I don’t have to store it somewhere. Anything they want to keep goes in their file. We organize all the kids papers into their own filing folders in the kitchen desk.I keep the computer paper in the office by the printer in the drawer just below it. Keep all unused paper in drawers organized as the type of paper.Having set up some systems really work for us. A lot of paper comes into my home on a daily basis from mail, to homework and school projects and it can be hard to maintain it all.As a result, organizers remind you to put it back where it goes when you are finished using it.

Leave countertops clean so you have ample space to work and spread out projects as needed. Make your work space as organized as possible promote success and productivity.

Create and label your storage items so that they are found easily.Place items that are used less often in an area that you don’t need to access often so they are not in the way of your work flow. Place items that are used often in easy to grab spaces for easy access. I like to organize items in groups of how they are to be used and how you like to work in your space. Organize items in cupboards and drawers in a way that makes sense with your work flow.

Gather up every item that isn’t where it belongs and put it where it does…or place it in a pile with other similar items until you create a space for it to go. Go through and purge your items to de-clutter, throw away, donate any items you do not need or want to keep. Clean everything out of your cupboard or drawer. An organized office can also leave you feeling more competent and in control, thus allowing you to be more productive with your time. Taking control of your work space allows your freedom to work without the distraction of clutter. I love it!
