As 2007 came to a close and my overwhelmed feeling started to die down, I mapped out a plan to get my life back in order. I had let SOOOO many things slide during the busy time and that, in turn, I'm sure ended up costing me time, and peace of mind. I spent the last week more or less decluttering my home. This included putting out a LOT of trash for the trash pickup, and taking a load of stuff to goodwill the size of my car. In addition, I put a lot of stuff on Craigslist (both baby stuff and my big baby-the 54" Epson 9800 Printer).
So, when it came to my office I was so overwhelmed I didn't even know where to begin. There were piles on top of piles, boxes, and extra prints just lying around. Here are a couple of before pictures...
Now that I have my big printer up for sale, I've moved it into the "client" area of my office so it isn't taking up my work space. And thes stack of rolled paper has been tucked aside too so I can now use that space to store my packaging materials which were stashed under a desk in my work space.
So now, my new and improved work space. I've moved my desks over towards the windows so I'll get more natural light when I'm working, and be able to see the kids playing in the park behind our house with the Nanny!
I also got a new 15" laptop that I'm in the progress of transferring over too. The extra screen space will be really nice as will the extra RAM!
congratulations on the big decluttering!
maybe it's just me, but i'd love a post on your computer/office set up, etc.
