Working with three different clients last week, I was reminded once again how many pen, pencil, 3-ring binder, copy paper, file folder, rubber band, paper clip, envelope, scotch tape, staple remover, lined pad, post-it-note, etc. hoarders there are out there! If your stash of office supplies could give Staples a run for its money, but you can’t find what you need when you need it, it’s time to get organized so you know exactly what you have and where it’s located.
Unnecessary expenditures related to disorganization – like buying duplicates of misplaced items or items you already own! – can cost as much as 15% to 20% of your annual budget. In these tight economic times, that can really pinch. So, get your office supplies organized and check your stock levels before you hit the stores! You’ll have more money in your pocket and less clutter in your office if you do.
