If you’re a big note-taker, you know it’s easy for your notes to get a little messy and unruly. Fortunately, this awesome notepad/file folder hybrid gives you the opportunity to keep them all in one place, clearly labeled, and easy to find for future usage.
A Place for Your Thoughts
It’s important to write your thoughts down, no matter what they are. You never know when they’re going to come in handy later, especially if your work is a creative endeavor. Now you can always look back on your best-brainstormed ideas or prove to others that you had that fabulous idea first!
The Pen to End All Pens
This is really the ultimate pen, y’all. It’s a level. It’s a measuring tool. It’s a stylus. It’s a bottle opener. It’s a screwdriver. And… Oh yeah! It’s also a ballpoint pen. This is a great pen if you work from home; you can work on your home projects while you work. Or something like that.
Keep It All Squared Away
I don’t keep my notes on index cards anymore, but I used to, and index cards with tabs, like these, are an awesome way to keep everything organized. You can use them to keep your passwords, phone numbers, or work tricks in order, or you can use them at home for recipes.
Hold It In
A portfolio is a great tool for those in or out of the office. You can keep everything organized and right where you need it and then zip it all up and put it together so it can go from your home office to your building office.
Write Straight On the Walls
Whiteboards are one of my favorite things about school. And about work. It just really helps me visualize what I’m working on. And this awesome peel-and-stick wallpaper is my favorite thing I’ve found to use in my home office and my husband loves using it in his in-person office.
Keep Your Schedule Straight
I have a hard time keeping my calendar straight, there’s just something about my brain, but this whiteboard calendar helps me to keep it all straight right where I can see it. Great for your home office or for the fridge at your in-person office.
Stack It Up
This item probably gets more use when you’re working in person at the office, but I love using it in my home office. I don’t have anyone putting mail in there, but it helps me to keep my “completed” work, my “to-do” work, and my notes all separated out for easy finding.
Get Deep Into Organization
File folders are awesome, but what’s even better than a file folder is a file folder with a calendar on it. You can reflect back on what happened that month as you’re going through your records. Or you can better organize your bills and notices for reference throughout the month.

They’re never a bad idea and you never know when you might need one. These scissors cut easily, look great, and are easy on your hands and fingers so you can keep using them even if you’ve got to use them for an extended period of time.
Some Great Pins… Or Are They?
So, they’re not actually pins, they just look like them! They’re actually refrigerator magnets that look like pins. They’ll look cool and interesting on your fridge. You could also use these on your filing cabinet or dishwasher. They’re fun and versatile like that!
Keep It Sharp
Not many of us use pencils every day, so this is probably mostly for the architects and mathematicians out there. Unless you’re into coloring, which is definitely a good relaxation technique! It’s easy to use and doesn’t take up too much office space or desk space.
Keep It All Together
This mesh organizing set is a great option for keeping all the little things stashed away and out of your way. Now, you can easily find those pins, rubber bands, sticky notes, and pens you can’t ever seem to keep ahold of throughout the day.
Everyone Needs a Good Wastebasket
A good wastebasket is something everyone should have in their office space, no matter where it is. You’re always going to be throwing things away. Whether it’s little notes, stray pieces of paper, or dead pens. And this will help you keep all that trash organized so you can take it and dump it later.
Stickers to Keep Things In Order
These stickers are a great choice for getting everything in order in your planner. You can be sure you won’t miss important notes, appointments, bills, or events when you’ve got these great stickers on hand. I love using them in my planner, and they make me smile, which is an added bonus.
Give Yourself a Run Down

Fortunately, these awesome file folders are lined on the front so you can give yourself a quick rundown of what all is in there for a little added organization.

This whiteboard can go just about anywhere in any office. You can write small messages for the rest of the office, a note on the outside of your door so people know not to disturb you, or your daily to-do list so you can keep it all straight.
Store Your Stuff
All your stuff needs a place to be, but you might not have the drawer space for it. These boxes give you a non-drawer space to keep it all organized and you can even label them so you know exactly what’s in each box; no need to rummage through them.
A Thin, But Mighty, Whiteboard
This whiteboard is thin so you can hang it just about anywhere you need to. It’s great for keeping all of your stuff put together in your office and it’s especially great for a shared office space. Leave one another notes and comment on one another’s work with the whiteboard.
Sit or Stand at This Desk
This desk gives you versatility, it gives you comfort, and it gives you space. I love to pair this with the anti-fatigue mat so I can stand for as long as I’d like so I’m not always hunched over or cramped up sitting at my desk.
A Gorgeous Chalkboard
Chalkboards are a great way to let people know what’s going on for the day, to write out your to-do list, and draw out your thoughts if you need to visualize them. Some folks out there don’t like chalkboards, but those of you that do are going to adore this!
Chalk for Those That Hate Chalk
I hate the feeling of chalk, there’s just something about it that really bothers me and gets into my skin. Fortunately, gorgeous chalk markers like these exist and I love to use them for art projects or for making my normal lists fun and exciting.

Index cards are awesome, but there’s got to be some sort of organization or they can get super messy super quickly. This tear-away notepad is an awesome way to keep it all organized easily and right where you want it to be so you can easily find it later.
Bright File Folders
I’m a proponent of color coding everything, honestly, but these are a super easy and fun way to do it. You can organize it all and be sure you can locate everything you need with just a glance. I personally find them more exciting than the average file folder.
