Organizing: Top 10 Things Every Office Needs to Get Organized

1. A good wall calendar to keep track of events.
2. A label maker. Label every cord, file, and bin so you know what’s it in.
3. Tickler Files: files that sit out on your table, desk, or counter to hold action items such as To Do, To Pay, To Go, To File, To Enter, etc.
4. A business card notebook, file box, or scanner.
5. Garbage cans
6. A shredder
7. Supply cabinet
8. Off site records storage area. Don’t keep it nearby if you don’t use it monthly.
9. Small plastic bins. They keep lots of small things organized together and they stack to maximize space.
10. CD sharpie’s to label them immediately.
