Declutter

Have a space for every thing, and know where you keep it when not in use. Label drawers and shelves. If you are using a filing cabinet, label all your folders. Use permanent markers for lasting work.

Break down and buy good quality pens. The cheap ones just aren’t worth the frustrations! Buy a pen organizer, and ditch the coffee cup you have been using. Your desk will look more professional and help you feel more important.
Choose Paint You Love

It’s nice to have a chair that is only yours! A reading chair is a nice addition to your space. You read, study, or simply drink your morning coffee while you look over the news paper. Or if there is room, how about a small couch?
