Avoid Clutter?
I guess this is something we all think is imposible, especially when we have childrens.
Let me tell you, that it is posible to avoid clutter if you set your mind to do it. These are my tips:
Everything you see around your office that can seem to be a stack of papers, or just magazines, books etc,.look over and throw away, unecesary documents,.
* Let's begin with fillers, this is something we are always recieving. Put all your fillers in plastic containers, add little labes to divide them with names, on each container, as "Fillers I recieve" and " Filler to be sent", this way you not only have it organized, but also gives you the opportunity to keep track of those who send and are waiting to recieve fillers,..
*Magazines, and or Business Catalogs,..we all love to keep magazines and catalogs look over them and just rip the pages of the ones you know you can give use, and put them in binders, for furthur use, then throw away the others that are really not needed,.(Please do not keep them, to avoid the begining of clutters),.Clutters begin so simple, by just a little paper, it can become a total mess,
*Books, once you finish reading your books, and you know you will not read anymore, donate them or just pass it on to your friends,
*Pencils, Pens, Markers and office materials, Make a pencil holder and pens holder separatly, this can avoid you from having pens that do not work anymore, Keep pens and markers together, then keep pencils and office suplies together, like scissors, stapler, staples etc,.
*Computer paper,.Assort papers by colors and sizes,
*Folders also assorte them by sizes
*Catalogs, Always try to assort these by dates and uses which company you use more and or even the time you make parties, place labels on shelves, to discribe your materials,.
*Samples, little samples place them in the plastic containers and also label the cotainer, you can either place samples on diferent containers and lable them by company,. Big Samples,.stack on shelves and label the shelves, for example, I have my tupperware samples that are big on shelves and have a label on the shelve to discribe which company is it for,..
*Business Cards, place them in cups and or plastic container also,.
*Business materials of info,.Great way to keep you business materials organize is using binders,

Labels are very important once you have everything labeled, you will see how easy it will be to look for your things, and out them away, organizing does require time but if we do it step by step you can work it all out,..
My personal advice and I practice alot is, everynight I look around and just throw away what I really do not need,..
