My love for all things beautiful, together with my addiction to stationery and office wares is now well and truly evident in our online store. After much research and many a late night we are proud of our launch of beautiful office wares to help keep your desk tidy, organised and beautiful.
The Semikolon range office organisation products helps you to keep all your important papers, files and bits at arms reach.
Here are some tips to help your desk top work better for you:
-
The key is to not let paper and piles keep multiplying. Process each paper as it comes in, and get it off your desk.
-
Make it a rule to always refile things. You can establish a special place the Semikolon private folder box sits on your desk top and is ideal for current projects, but otherwise put everything away.
-
Keep your desk free of clutter. It may tempt your eyes to roam, making time at your desk less effective. Put loose papers in clearly labeled files ("Tasks," "To Read," etc.) or color-coded ones (purple = medical, green = legal matter).
- Use the Semikolon private document box is ideal for catching your incoming tax invoices and current bills awaiting processing.
-
If you're concerned about remembering where you are going to put some notes you'll need for an upcoming project, note the location in your planner on the day or month the project is due.
-
If you have taken files out of dead storage for a specific project, gather them up when the project is completed and take the time to put them back where they belong.
-
Use your planner. It is invaluable for recording ideas in the working/developing stage. Instead of jotting down notes on scraps of paper and never knowing where to find them, you'll have one place to look when you want to refer back to that million-dollar idea, a clever paragraph for a sales letter, a new marketing idea, anecdotes or the details of a telephone conversation.
-
Set aside time daily for doing paperwork. Choose an hour when there are few distractions—if at home, in the early morning before the family gets up or if at work, before the staff comes in. During this time, use an answering machine or your voice mail system to screen calls, have your secretary hold calls or have a co-worker answer your phone (you can return the favor at another time).
-
Use the desk clock as an important ally. If you're procrastinating about something, tell yourself you'll work on it for "just 15 minutes." And use the clock to help you stop early enough so you will have time to put things away at the end of the day.
-
Clean up your desk every night so there's no chaos when you begin the next morning.
Keep every thing beautifully organised, with our help.
