Some days 5 minutes might be all of the time that you have for organizing your home office or for organizing anything at all. So how can you make the best use of that time to get as much as you can organized? Here are a few tips that can get you started. Organize one small pile of paper. If you have a stack of about 10 papers, you can get that organized in 5 minutes. The trick of this is to actually put those papers where they belong rather than just reorganizing them into different piles. So if it is something that needs to be filed, you actually take the time to file it appropriately. If it is a bill that needs to be paid, put it in your action or “bills to pay” folder (assuming that you have one – if you do not, quickly create one). If it is a piece of junk mail that you know you no longer want or need, toss it. Organizing your home office supplies on your desk. If you know that you need to sit down and pay bills or organize your finances soon, taking 5 minutes out of your day one or two days beforehand to organize your office supplies can help make that time go more smoothly. This way you will know that you have everything you need and can then focus on the task at hand. Organize one or two files. It is a good practice to go through your files once a year and get rid of anything that you no longer need. This includes old bills and paperwork that is no longer relevant. Be sure to shred any sensitive information. If it is documents that you need to keep but that you no longer reference, finding a box to store them in is better than having them take up filing space. If you use those extra minutes wisely, organizing your home office can become a much easier task. A few minutes here and there can help you get organized and stay organized.
