| Organizing a Computer Area
|
 When we set up the computer in our spare bedroom, I needed an area to show pictures, messages and reminders. I hung a bulletin board on the wall behind the monitor so I could hang things to catch my attention.

| Use Cutlery Tray for Desk Drawer Organizer
|
 Ever wondered what other uses cutlery trays have? I cheaply sourced one at a garage sale recently with an extra sliding top tray which lifts off. I ended up using it to store/organize stationary bits and pieces in a drawer in our computer room.

| Use Colored Price Stickers to Mark Accessory Cords
|
|
I found an inexpensive way to mark the multitude of wires behind my computer. I had read about using colored tape at each end of the cords, to trace which plug belongs to which accessory (printer, modem, etc) but I didn't want to go out and buy several different colors of tape.

| Keep Pencils from Rolling Off Your Desk
|
|
I like to put a rubber band on the tips of my pencils, right under the eraser to keep them from rolling off the table or desk. The same works for pens, too.

|
Here is a tip for your home office. I place the head of my shredder on top of a small garbage pail, with a bag ready to catch the strips. I have eliminated one step to make easy clean up.

| Use Hair Bands to Secure Electrical Cords
|
|
Wrap up excess electrical cord and use a hair band (thread covered rubber band) to keep in place. It keeps it neat and out of the way.

I am a receptionist and my office desk is so unorganized with pencils/ink pens and scissors laying around, desk trays, date stamp, rolodex, tape dispenser, etc.

| Keeping Pencil Holder from Breaking Pencils
|
|
If you get tired of pencil tips breaking and ink pen tips getting messed up in your Pencil Holder, try this: get a cheap cleaning sponge from the dollar store and cut it to fit in the bottom of your Pencil Holder. Make sure to get a thin sponge especially if your Pencil Holder is a short one. Sponges are also great to soak up any ink from broken pens and they're cheap to replace.

| Using Baker's Rack for Computer Equipment
|
 When I moved into a really small apartment, I didn't have room for my large computer desk. But, I did have a baker's rack that I was not going to use for kitchen use. I decided to use it for my computer and printer.
