Last week we talked about the first part to Step 1 of bringing Office Style into your space; Divide. In order to bring in style you must clear the area if it’s a mess. This brings us to part two of step 1, and that is to release.

You can’t add stylish pieces to the room if you are going to let the mess take over. After your done with this step, reward yourself with some pretty pieces like this Iris Pencil Cup:

And a set of these fabulous sticky notes:

Let’s get started shall we?

Got a pile of receipts just sitting on your desk in different corners? Toss them out!

Gum wrappers, movie ticket stubs, expired  lunch coupons? You know where they belong-in the trash.

Now let’s move on to the piles of paper you have divided. You should divide your papers into Keep, Toss, and Maybe piles to make this process as efficient as possible. Once you have thrown away or shredded the papers in your toss pile, you can attack your maybe pile.

Are you starting to notice the difference? Your space should already feel lighter, cleaner, and more inviting. In order to be as efficient as possible at work, you need to make it the environment you want to be it for the 8-10 hours a day you work.

Because I care,
