If you can start at the beginning, by that I mean, before things get out of hand, get organized from the get go. The sooner you start, the less time you spend later looking for things or organizing a bigger mess.
For example: If you start a new business and want an organized and efficient office, start with :
- getting help from a friend/family member
- read ebooks/books on organizing
- visit websites
- call a professional organizer
If you're way past the beginning, find a friend or family member that already has an organized office or call a professional organizer. Buy containers, files, label maker, drawer dividers and designate an area to store office supplies.
Clearing the clutter and irrelevant items is a good start. This creates space and you might even find something you've been looking for and for one of my clients, that was a large bag full of forgotten money!
