My home office space is not nearly as clean as this image... Although, I certainly wish that it was! We just moved into a new home this summer, and unfortunately, the office has become the room where the yet-to-be-unpacked boxes are being stored. *Sigh* Luckily, however, once I sit down at my desk, my back is to the boxes and I can get to work.
While I am certainly not a pro at organization, I do appreciate learning tips from others on how they keep their mind and their spaces clear. I appreciated the Organization assignment we worked through, and cleaned up my Bookmarks bar and Bookmarks folder yesterday, even before this assignment was given! I definitely added a Word Count Tool to my browser bar to speed up the writing process, and while there, I found a fun languages tool to help sprinkle in new words to help me learn Arabic.. or refresh my Hindi or Spanish. Mind the Word is the one that I chose. I'm curious to play around with it.
Ultimately, the most comforting organizational tools in my arsenal are these:
- Get folders, notebooks, scribble pads and syllabus organized all together into their own sections
- Organize research: Create a Bookmark folder for research and useful websites
- Have Calendar, Label Calendar, Check, re-Check Calendar, Obey Calendar, L-O-V-E Calendar
Live for the Calendar. It really is the best tip I can give, and the only way I can know and organize all the moving parts in my life! Mine happens to be a dry erase marker board for the current month as well as my Google Calendar for events further out in the future. Goodluck to everyone getting organized!
