I NEED to tackle this! Help!
Our home office is a disaster. We've been using it to store things that we haven't unpacked from moving yet. Every once in awhile, I start to clear things out but get overwhelmed and stop. DH is out of town for a week, and I'd like to make some progress in cleaning/organizing our home office. My problem is...I can't decide where to start! There's stuff on the desk (books, DH's papers that he needs to sort through, random stuff). There's a box on the floor of my random stuff. I know there's a ton in this room that will be gone by the time I'm done. My goal is to have this room house only books, my school materials (I'm a grad student), and important papers for the two of us.
What would be a good starting point to tackle this room?

Ditto the scanning. I'm a HUGE fan of scanning papers. As far as instruction manuals, get on Google and see if you can find an adobe file of it. I loathe papers in the house, everything gets scanned in, written on the calendar (bills) and then tossed.
our office was like this too. I started by taking a stack of papers or stuff with me to the living room , I did this while watching tv so I wouldn't burn mysefl out. I would shred, keep but file what was needed in a binder. Mags and books were stacked neatly until I sorted through them. Antyhing that was garbage was cleared first and it only took four days for a room that was ignored for 7months!
I like this idea. I think sorting through the boxes while watching TV will keep it from feeling like work. Besides, it's not unusualy for me to be doing something while watching TV. I might as well be working on cleaning out the office while doing it.
Thanks! it works everytime for me.
