A New Year always brings in new things. Paper, files, magazines, and receipts sometimes just flutter on from on year to the next. It is a good idea to help your sanity and to help get rid of some clutter if you get all of last years things all nice and organized.

Clean Out The Files
It’s important to take time once a year to purge the old to make room for the new. Ask yourself whether or not documents will be relevant to your work in the coming year. If not set those aside and make an archive file. Some files that you should go through are:
- Desktop files
- Client files
- Financial files
- Receipts
- Reference files
I like getting new files for a new year so I can just transfer my old ones to our keep file drawer.
These Smead file folders are awesome because I am able to color code my file drawer.
Take A Look At The Office
Office clutter can take over throughout the year - you get busy, create a few pile here, and a stack over there, and suddenly you are not able to see your desk! Go around the room and find a home for all of those piles and you will be able to see your desk in no time. Having an assigned space for everything makes it easier for you to maintain order throughout the year, and at the end of the day it will just take a few minutes to put everything away.
Magazine racks are a great way to keep things in a specific place.
This is another one of my favorites as I can keep things I am currently working on at an arms reach.
Make Some Plans
Plan what you would like to accomplish this year and write it done somewhere you see it everyday so you will constantly remind yourself what your goals are. The best part is you can do these things for your home and your work environment!
We hope everyone has a great 2015!
