Office Depot reports that clutter in office work spaces is often food!

I can testify to this fact. many desks that I organize use complete file drawers only to store food. Does everyone now eat at their desks?

Before / After Case Study:

(Move mouse over picture for after )

Challenge Phase One:

This client was overwhelmed by papers that had overtaken her home office. Paperwork was overflowing into the dining. living and bedroom. There was no method or strategy for paper flow within her home before I arrived.

Her industry is extremely paper intensive so I devised a strategy to traffic paper in and out of her office. She and her husband share a home office and papers were mixed up between both work areas with no real separation of workspaces.

Solution Phase One:

We implemented and built a new file system using Freedom Filer.

Challenge Phase Two:

Work flow was not defined and file system was not completed. Notes were loose and piling up from numerous meetings and phone discussions.

Solution Phase Two:

I redesigned the office space and recommended a new L shape desk set-up and five additional file drawers. I also recommended separate spiral note books for each regular meeting and another notebook for client phone calls. After the papers were contained into drawers and action files were put into place on the desktop, we had a clear space for productive work.!

What Our Clients Say:

“Your enthusiasm and energy made this project very enjoyable. You were
really good with creating systems and finding the space for all of my
clothes. I love my new closets.”
