21 Day Organization Challenge: Day 14

Alright folks, time for another organization challenge. Today we will be dealing with office supplies.

Like many of you I have a good amount of office supplies. However, my office supplies and craft supplies often overlap. I use adhesive tape for my craft projects but also for other things as well. The same goes for my washi tape. While I mainly use that for craft projects such as my scrapbooking, I do use some solid color washi tape in my planner. Due to this, these supplies need to be kept together to make accessing them easy for any project I may be working on. 

So, here is what I am working with. 

I have one drawer where I keep these supplies. Lately more items have made there way into this space where they don't belong. The first thing I needed to do was remove those items and put them back where they belonged. Second, I really thought about this drawer and how to make the best use out of it. I asked myself what supplies do I reach for on a day to day basis..those are the items I want stored here. This drawer is located in a 3 drawer unit by Rubbermaid that I picked up for $15 at Walmart. It is positioned behind where I sit to the right, so I can easily reach it from my desk. This makes it important for the supplies I use on a frequent basis to reside here.

So, here is the after.

Here is an overall look. I use an old veggie platter to separate my supplies as well as 3 dollar store bowls.

I keep my ad tech runner adhesive in one bowl

My glue sticks and tape go in another

The third bowl holds random adhesives such as superglue

I keep all my washi tape in 2 sections. I use these both in my planner & for craft projects

In one section of the veggie tray I keep all my post it notes that I use in my planner

In another section I store solid color regular post it notes to jot down lists, etc

So there you have it, a quick and simple organizational project that took no time at all. Boy does it make a difference though! I can actually see the products in my drawer and no longer have to go searching for something I know should be in that drawer. It is all right in front of me, nicely placed.
