Design Office to Scale

You have a small office that needs the elements necessary for organization and style of an executive suite.  By designing a floating desk with return the furniture will be scaled to the space available.  Grommets on the desk top will keep phone and computer cords hidden.  Custom bookshelves fit perfectly under windows and provide adjustable storage. 

And don’t forget the supply room – or cabinet in this one room office.  Only five feet high and placed behind the door, this cabinet is not imposing in the office.  Paper trays for letterhead, bins for clips, pens, and other supplies are handy for projects as needed.

Organize Goals When Attending Orange County’s Largest Mixer

Dave Linden is doing it again, and for the sixth time in Costa Mesa.  Orange County’s Largest Mixer VI will be held Wednesday, March 11, 2009 at the OC Fair & Event Center.  Several hundred businesses will exhibit their products and services and the event is a great networking opportunity if you do business in the OC.

Before attending a business expo,  home show, or sports exhibit spend time listing what you would like to accomplish.  If possible, review exhibitor rosters to identify those companies you deem of interest. 

Keep the clutter to a minimum. 

Take only “freebees” that you really want.  When you return to the office, review the business cards collected and recycle those contacts that are not of interest.  As you enter the information from business cards into your contact management database, categorize different industries and include notes to help find a contact when needed.

The Largest Mixer series is also held in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and the Inland Empire.  These events are sponsored by area chamber’s of commerce.  Follow this simple steps and make the OC Largest Mixer one of the most productive business opportunites you hit this year.

Turn Clutter into Cash

They are everywhere.  Advertisements asking, “Do you have too much stuff?”  The solution, the ads say, is to rent a storage unit.  During times like these do you want the extra expense for things that have not been used in months or even years?

Empty those storage units and make some money.  Plan a garage sale or try selling items online.  When pricing remember not to ask retail.  If you want something to sell, offer a deal.  Do some homework and search eBay for comparable pricing.  Not only will you generate cash, but when you free your space you clear your mind.

A Home Office Closet

A reach in closet will have more room if all the wall space is utilized.  Home office closets may have several uses.  Extra coats, office supplies, family photographs, and shredder just don’t work in a closet with one rod and shelf.

Once you identify your needs, a good closet designer and make your “prime real estate” work for you.  Cubbies for paper supplies, adjustable shelves get things in sight.  If over-sized times are stored, have a ”home” designed for easy access.  For example, extra table leafs for the dining room table are now easy to reach.

Even if your system is melamine, choose a finish you like.  There are many options other than white.  Fun containers, like these form The Container Store,  will finish off your project and make working at home more fun and productive.
