This week’s Making Your Home a Haven was made for me. I have been looking at the piles on my desk for about 2 weeks wondering when I was ever going to tackle them. Now Crystal<\/a> has suggested that we “pick a pile,” so the clutter on my desk must go. I hope to take care of this during lunch and have my after pictures up this afternoon. Here is my before picture…<\/p>\n

The first thing I did was remove everything from the desk area. This is a desk in my kitchen so there is not a lot of room to work. So I moved all the stuff to the bar.<\/p>\n

I then organized the stuff in piles; recycle, file, school, must do, library, not mine, etc…<\/p>\n

I then had some helpers put things away and I filed all the remaining paperwork. I use binders to organize things like bills, bank statements, insurance documents, etc, but that can be discussed in a future post.<\/p>\n

After the filing and putting away I only had a few items remaining. All of which were things I needed to take care of today.<\/p>\n

Now my desk is clean and clutter free. Don’t forget, when tackling horizontal spaces for clutter always clean or dust them when you are finished.<\/p>\n
