I have to laugh at myself sometimes. I am a bit behind on a few things and need to get organized so I know just what's what. My first reaction was to head down to my local Staples to pick up a couple organization tools. But if I look at my desks, I can see that they (I have two desks) are packed with organization tools. Folder holders, wire shelve thingys, and three tiered in-boxes are crammed full of stuff. Plastic stacking drawers are my favorite because they hold a lot.

I don't need more organization tools, I need more organization and perhaps a wee cleaning session.

I have stamps in a dozen weird denominations from 1 cent to 80 cents.
Pictures.
Cards.
Receipts I will need come January tax time.
Fliers for this and that.
File folders that ought to be filed.
At least 10 different kinds of paper - from filler paper to lovingly bound journals.
Magazines I keep thinking I will look at - one is from January 2007, probably not getting to that one.
One page models that don't have a folder - I hate to make a folder for one piece of paper.
Assorted gadget pieces.
Expired coupons.

An on and on. Take a look at your bins of organization - are they too full to do their jobs?
