Hugs and Happy Organizing: Office Organizing
Hugs and happy organizing are client success stories. Here’s a story about a client’s office.
Home offices are cluttered! These spaces are jammed paper, office supplies, books and more. Why not add more vertical storage to create more order.
- Each different category of paper needs a “slot.” Create a slot with a basket labelled for each type of paper. These categories can include taxes, small business, utilities, instruction books and other papers.
- Create more space by going up! With these additional bookcases, there is a basket for each type of paper.
- Keep your desk clear by having a slot for unprocessed, unopened or to be reviewed papers.
- Keep papers in notebooks or magazine sorters so these can be orderly.
- Editor’s note: Our work together was done virtually!

Super impressed that this makeover was done virtually! As it is, paper processing is such an arduous task in person and I am a very ‘tactile’ facilitator of change. Typically, I’m working side by side with my client creating categories and labelling file folders and pendeflex tabs, while they are sorting through their papers. I can’t imagine I would be as effective virtually. Kudos to you Ellen! Great job!
It looks like a totally different room!
I really lucked out; I received a section of a wall unit from a family member who no longer needed it. I keep my printer and chargers in the open section and my paper products are all stored behind closed doors.
Amazing before and after picture. That’s great you could do this virtually. What fun! Thanks for sharing.
This space looks much more relaxing as well! Love that this was a virtual client! Did you Skype?
@Nancy ~ I love that our work together made such a difference. I typically work side by side my clients. However, with modern technology we can be there virtually!
@Janet ~ how awesome that you are able to add vertically enclosed storage. That’s a great way to keep your office organized.
@Sabrina ~ It’s always fun to make a big change working together.
@Autumn ~ we used a variety of options including facetime and photos. We accomplished our work through a series of sessions together but much shorter than you might think.
Isn’t virtual organizing fun? It’s amazing what you can do to improve the client’s situation without ever having step foot in the space! Great job Ellen
I love that we can make a difference by connecting. It’s that simple!
Nice Ellen. Organizing offices to me are so much fun … and very important to the success of ones work.
Thanks Regina! Office organizing is a way to make each day more efficient and effective. Being organized makes the work day more fun.
