Time Frame: 9 hours
Services Used: Office Organizing

This New York City-based client needed help with professional office organizing. She was having difficulty managing the paper in her business and home offices as well as using her space efficiently and needed organizing solutions to help her regain control of her office space.

She found it easier to have papers and mail pile up and then tackle it all at one time than to deal with smaller piles on a more frequent basis. In addition, the incoming paperwork in her business office needed to be further sorted upon receipt and initial review. The positioning of supplies, personal items and other relevant tools on and around both desks also needed to be reviewed with an eye towards improving productivity. These two problems made it clear she needed clutter management and professional office organizing assistance.

Before

• Paperwork needed in the home office was mixed in with the mail, forms and documents collecting in the business office
• Piles of papers were left on and near the desk as a reminder of tasks to be done
• Multiple years tax receipts were mixed together
• Vitamins and other food items were stacked on top of a cabinet in the business office

After

• Set up a SwiftFile for filing and prioritizing papers related to specific tasks
• Re-positioned office supplies and frequently used items near the desk
• Created a file specifically for the current year's tax receipts and filed prior year's receipts with respective year's tax paperwork
• Used covered storage containers that fit in with the office motif for storing personal items in the business office
