Office/Paper Organizers

It's back to school time - for us clutterers!

This is the best time of the year to purchase organizers for the office. Retailers bring out new products, including organizers. There is the best variety of everyday needs, like folders and labels and good prices due to heavy retail competition.

What do you need to become better organized at work or in your home office? Labels, a new filing cabinet, folders, gadgets, equipment, furniture -- you name it and it's here now. Don't delay. Make your list and shop for your organizers and office supplies - soon.

Calendars are plentiful, too. Most are organized by school year, but January-December 2007 calendars are in, too. Be careful you choose the correct format. Your favorite calendar might already be in -- go look.

I'm heading out in a few minutes myself. I am donating my large 54"W x 27"D computer desk which has two bookshelves and a file drawer. I no longer need or want such a large desk. I want more open space in my office.

• I've already purged all of my 5 file drawers so I can fit the contents of the desk drawer into one of the other four drawers.
• I have purged my 3-shelf bookcase and these two book shelves so I can fit all the books on the bookcase.

I am purchasing a new corner computer desk only 38"W x 19"D. On the bottom shelf will fit the printer which is on the large desk and the CPU that is on the floor next to the desk. I will save space, consolidate equipment, reduce the need for long cords and prevent early morning sun glare on my monitor since the new desk will fit in the corner.

Check back for the further adventures of office re-organization.
