Realistically the office is one room that I am sure will take a good week to declutter and organise. As I have only dedicated one day to it we are only going to do the basics, then gradually like all the other rooms in the house, when you have some spare time use it to organise another area within the office, ie the filing cabinet, cupboards etc.
Clean – The Office
Below is the general cleaning checklist:
[wlchecklist name=’CleanDay14′]
Declutter – Office Desk
The office desk can easily become messy with paper clutter such as bills, receipts, kids school notes etc or it could be your dumping zone leaving it a very messy workspace. I know myself I can’t work when my desk is a mess.
Todays task is to declutter your office desk and your top desk drawer, that’s it, nothing more as we don’t have time for a complete overhaul. This in turn will hopefully improve your productivity when your at your desk.
Steps to clear your office desk:

I use the drawer organisers to keep keep the top drawer tidy. Here are my essentials that I use every day, in the next drawers down I keep my label machine, notepads and other stationery items.
I keep all my bills in my bill organiser, read more about it here.
After I come home from a day of shopping I take all my receipts out of the shopping bags and file them into my receipts box. Every few weeks (weekly would be preferable, but sometimes time gets away from me), we go through our receipts and enter our spending into our budget.
Couple the Budget with the Bill Organiser and you are on the road to organised finances!

There is something about a candle that I find very calming, having it flickering next to my computer screen helps give me some clarity and calm me down if I feel a little frazzled.
