Store things for occasional use on higher shelves or cabinets.

Now, look at the piles that you have and think of where you want each category to “live.” Organize the area you work in according to what you need to use most.

* If you are doing this task in two different days, this is a good place to stop. Put anything that belongs in a different place where it belongs and get rid of anything that you are going to throw away.Once everything is empty wipe out drawers, cabinets, and surfaces.If this is too much to tackle in one day, choose one area to sort at a time, but do not replace or organize anything until all the areas have been emptied out, decluttered, and sorted. Mixed in will also be office supplies, such as staplers, pens, tape, post-it notes, paper, files-you name it! Keep sorting until every drawer and cabinet are empty. You will likely have piles of bills, house-related paperwork, insurance paperwork, and tax documents. Next, empty your desk and cabinet drawers and sort your items into like piles.This will give you a visual clean slate and will also give you an area to sort on. First, begin by clearing the top of your desk.
