I was talking with a friend today about getting my office organized. It must be done. It is horrid. This is my home office I am talking about. My work office - neat as a pin and always a clean desktop, organized beyond belief. It's personal with me. (See office pictures at bottom)
HOME OFFICE
Anyway, I told my friend I really need to go through my mail. I have this system. I bring my mail in, and put in in a basket, then once a month I go through the basket, pay the non-Electronic Funds Transfer or Bank Bill Pay bills, shred the garbage, and file what must be filed. Actually, no, that's a lie, I take the to-be-filed stuff and put it in a to-be-filed drawer that I go through about once every 6 months or so. Yeah, I know. It makes no sense. But it works, for me at least. I have been bitten in the butt a few times by this system, unable to find something I need, a bill slipping through the cracks, or missing a baby shower or something, but it's never been anything great enough to cause me to change my ways.
MAIL BASKET
THIS IS MY WORK OFFICE, NICE AND TIDY - heck, my desk is so clean you can see it was a slightly cloudy day when this picture was taken. :) - that doesn't happen at my home office!
UP CLOSE YOU CAN ALMOST SEE THE VIEW OUT MY OFFICE WINDOW
THIS IS MY VIEW WHEN I LEAN BACK IN MY CHAIR

My office looks like your home office! wow. We must be sisters. I am glad that you posted pictures of your work office because I haven't been there. It looks like a nice place. I am trying to stay on top of my mail/paper load by doing it just a few minutes a day. I am not very good at it.
Your work office is gorgeous! Really! It's beautiful and I'm impressed that you keep it so clean. Every single performance appraisal I ever got included the phrase "please keep your desk more tidy/organized/neat".
My home office (desk, really) is like yours. :(
I used to not sweat the bills that much until I forgot to pay the Property Tax. OUCH. Your office at work is so clean I'm afraid people are going to think you don't work! Also, do you work at a school?
Gotcha beat, I showed you my closet.
I love seeing your office. It is nice to know where you are each day. :)
Love the pink stickies.
I really do love my office. When I am having a busy day, I hit "Do Not Disturb" on the phone and close my office door. Sometimes I do that when one of you calls me at work.
I keep it very clean because that is the status quo at our office, everyone keeps their desks fairly tidy. Also, because when you work with other people's money, you can't risk making a mistake because you couldn't find something or were distracted.
I also keep it clean because it stays clean.
Paige, I am the account manager at Paramount Property Management. We manage rentals for people. Both homes and multi-unit buildings, even vacation homes and executive homes. I like my job, most of the time.
Love the blog. It looks so cute! Your home office cracks me up. Post-it notes are like crack to me. I'm addicted. Your work office is beautiful. Didn't know you had such a nice set up, with a view. You're a babe and I love you. Ter
Thanks for the visit last night. Much enjoyed!
