CREATIVE ORGANIZATION

FOR BEST RESULTS

Hello from Anne and Helen of Creations Unlimited, LLC!

There’s something about the bright sunshine and the fresh, fragrant air of springtime that nudges us into spring-cleaning action for better efficiency, creativity, and innovation in our work. We want to enjoy the gorgeous blooms of the season, literally and figuratively, and bring a few inside to beautiful offices and homes prepared to receive them.

1. START WITH CLEANING

Gather your cleaning supplies and pick up your duster. Clean your main living and work areas first. Pick up clutter and tidy as you go, then when it’s done, it’s all done. Drop-ins welcome.

2. WORK SPACE READINESS

A well-organized work space is an invitation to create. What’s more exciting than a fresh canvas, a blank Word document, and a colorful array of fabric, paints, or other tools just waiting for your creative innovation? Prepare your desk, straighten up your supplies, do your filing, then sift through your inspirational materials and begin.

3. REPURPOSE EVERYDAY ITEMS

Wake up your work space and make it so authentic to you that you enjoy spending lots of time there. Convert elegant, colorful, or cheerful household items you already own into useful storage containers for your office. For example:

• Polish silver trays, antique cigarette holders, or unusual bowls and use them to house frequently used pamphlets, coasters, books, or current projects
• Your favorite mugs (only the ones you like) work great for holding painting and writing supplies
• Colored pencils, watercolor pencils, or paintbrushes lend artistic flavor to your setting when displayed in tall canning or barrel jars
• Ceramic pitchers can add interest as vases for a fresh bouquet of flowers
• Large baskets with handles instantly make your work supplies mobile

Press more of your pretty possessions into new service for an unexpected and fresh take on organization. Save your plastic bins for the storage unit or garage.
