low-cost tricks to a more organized desk

 

Make drawer divisions
You don’t have to waste time looking for pins or staple wires buried under bigger items inside your drawer. Keep those small items in one permanent place by dividing your drawer into smaller sections. Ready-made drawer dividers are available in department stores’ home sections.

Low-cost trick to try: Use old mugs, recycled jam bottles, or ice trays and line them up inside your drawer. You can also use closet drawer dividers, those which were originally made to organize underwear and socks.

Get all those cords and cables in line
Keep your computer cords in check with cable or cord organizers. There are several different kinds in the market, depending on your needs. For instance, if your problem is length, get the round ones that let you wind up the cord. Another kind lets you stick the cords onto the wall while another gathers all the cords in a bind, leaving out the plugs.

Low-cost trick to try: Use recycled cores of bathroom tissue or kitchen tissue to hold together cords.

Hang what you can
Free up precious surface area on your desk by using S-hooks. Hang these hooks off the top of your office cubicle to give you extra “storage” space. You can hang all sorts of things from S-hooks: headphones, clamps, wire baskets and shelves, even paper clips!

Low-cost trick to try: If you do not have a cubicle to hang the S-hook from, consider setting up a short curtain rod or a simple long stick. Also try (unused) chopsticks: Put wayward rolls of tape through the chopsticks, and suspend the chopsticks from S-hooks.

Put clutter in drawers
Another perfect organization tool is the mini chest of drawers that you can place under your desk. Use this to store small items like your thumb drives, cord ties, CDs, etc for easier but more organized access.

Low-cost trick to try: Do you have an old spice rack that’s just gathering dust in your kitchen? That would be great storage for small items on your desk that tend to get lost. If you prefer actual drawers, SM Homeworld has plastic drawers that are small enough to fit under your desk.
