Are you looking for ways to organize your office<\/a> cubicle at work? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you want to keep things in order easily and with less fuss? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike a traditional closed office, cubicles present an interesting organizing challenge in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that’s not to say it’s impossible to organize office supplies<\/a> and keep your space neat and tidy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You just need to rethink your office cubicle layout and structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, you’ll find several ideas to maximize storage and organize materials in this type of workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Store items vertically.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Space is at a premium in a cubicle. The easiest way to get around this space restriction is to store items vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of having items choke up your countertop, look to the walls to store lightweight items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you could use a hanging holder for small files, office supplies, or other office materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could store small office supplies<\/a> like staples or push pins in small magnet containers that can be affixed to metal filing cabinets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, you can use risers or letter trays to increase storage in an overhead cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep frequently used items within arm\u2019s reach.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is your stapler located on the other side of your cube, several feet from where you sit? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you always have to go on a hunting mission to find some blank file folders<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make it point to keep frequently used office supplies<\/a> at your fingertips; be it on your workspace\u2019s countertop or in a nearby drawer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might have to take a survey of what you use on a regular basis, such as every day or week, and make some organizing adjustments in your space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opposite also holds true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The less frequently you use an item, the further away it should be stored from your chair or computer station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designate an area for paperwork, filing or writing.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even in today\u2019s digital world you need space to do paperwork, collating, filing<\/a>, or writing<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can help yourself by selecting a specific area of your cubicle for this very purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find a spot in your cubicle that’s relatively quiet and free from heavy traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, this may be the area furthest away from the main entrance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need help designating this area, add a bit of decorative flair to your space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark off your space with two small pieces of office supplies or some pieces of colorful tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other ideas include creating a visual border with a colorful blotter or decorative shelf liner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make use of your inbox and outbox.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inboxes<\/a> and outboxes get a bad rap for being permanent storage facilities of files and other office materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But remember, these boxes were created for you to control the flow of information into your space: incoming and outgoing mail and materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the more reason to wean yourself away from the permanent storage mindset! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do yourself a huge favor and clean out your inbox and outbox right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you’re finished, be sure to place your boxes closer to the entrance point of your cubicle area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes it easy for both you and any coworkers to drop off and pickup materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll be amazed at how much more available surface space you have available to you in your cubicle, now that your inbox and outbox are clean and fully usable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
