Love your ideas -- especially the one about creating rules and folders. I've recently added a number of folders--even my kids have their own folders and subfolders: Max (school) (football) (Woodward)...Thanks for reinforcing the need to manage the email, and not vice versa!

The backing that came with this frame was thick so by adhering the cork to the backing we gained additional depth. If you use a frame that does not have a thick backing or if you still have trouble use thicker cork that is sold in pieces rather than rolls. Thanks for letting us know about this!

I did something similar a few years back, but wasn't happy with the results because the cork wasn't 'deep' enough... the pushpins kept falling out. How did you handle that here?

These are some fabulous suggestions for small space living! I especially like the Travel Box recommendation...as well as the theme binder to hold magazine articles that I want to refer back to.

I would add one more to these excellent tips, make sure you have a calendar, wall calendar, or electronic organizer that works for you, and use it both to schedule appointments with your self to organize and exercise

I like a lot of the new eco-friendly options. I simply do not buy anything anymore that isn't eco-friendly or not recyclable. The seven year pen is the most awesome idea. Thanks Jane!

The Velcro Envelopes are actually a lifesaver for me. I keep everything in them!

I consulted with a computer professional and a DVD or USB drive is the safest method for back-ups. Thanks Eleanor for adding this great tip!!!

Hi Jane! I would also put any media used to actually back up the info on your computer (such as USB Flash Drives, CDs or DVDs, and even an external hard drive, like a "Passport" Drive) in the recovery box as well.

Brilliant idea. Perfect, actually. Thanks.

I think point #2 above is spot-on. I don't think there is anything wrong with using old shoe boxes for storage when nobody is going to see it. I do however, love to show off my fancier storage boxes where I keep my photos and the craft supplies I use a lot.

2009-10-29T07:52:14.112-07:00

I love the idea of using the same size gift boxes as storage than buying those pretty storage boxes. That can get costly. I use my Victoria Secret shopping bags for underwear storage. They look pretty in my closet. Where can I purchase the Tiffany blue laptop bag?

Well I don't use old tissues but for some reason I end up with tons of candy bar wrappers with notes on them all over my desk. A treat and a sticky note in one!

2009-10-16T10:55:16.288-07:00

I think one of the places that quality shows up is in the office. You don't realize this until you start using your supplies, folders, supply bins and furniture. You've got to be very careful when spending your hard-earned money on inexpensive office supplies. You should never skimp on folders, labels, and desktop accessories. How many times have you dropped your $5 stapler and it sprung apart in 9 pieces to never be put back together again? My suggestion is to think a bit before you buy, buy less, buy quality and you'll be happier in the long run.

2009-10-16T05:25:09.446-07:00

Oh how I wish I could post pictures of my neighbors' cubicles. One has an overhead cabinet with the door permanently open and the cabinet is FILLED with miniature stuffed animals: SpongeBob, Snoopies, various and sundry bears, Nemo, Beanie Babies, McDonalds mini toy characters, a little stuffed Junie B. Jones doll,... I could go on and on... Oh, and I forgot: she has NOT ONE INCH OF OPEN DESK SPACE. She got a gift for Xmas from a co-worker THREE YEARS AGO and it's still in the box on top of her desk.
My other neighbor, on my other side, has created her own separating wall. She actually admits this! We have low cubby walls, only 4' high and she claims her other neighbor burps too loud so she stacks papers three feet higher on one side, on the cubby shelf, so that she can't see/hear her other neighbor. And there are papers all over the floor, post-it notes stacked 50 deep (at least!) on the desk in front of her monitor. They're the projects she's currently working on, she says. The VP has asked her more than once to clean up; she purges once a year, post Xmas, pre-New-Year's.

Lol, oh my. This is really funny because a lady in my office has chicken figurines on her desk just like those! Somehow I have to show her this post without insulting her and her precious chickens.

In this economy you would be surprised by how many people actually still need house sitting because of trips and/or vacationing! I make my car and insurance payment by house sitting only twice a month!

2009-10-01T12:00:45.560-07:00

What great ideas... I especially love the one about putting reading material in a basket next to your bed. I'm always reading magines and sales catalogs in the bed. And I've already started making xerox copies of newspaper articles. I used to work as a reporter so I know about the yellowing newsprint. Al though I have to admit, the idea of scanning everything makes me a little nervous. I'm that what if... person, so I would probably scan half of everything and have some hard copies nearby in a pretty storage container. Thanks for the info.
