We Love It: January 2025
Get Organized!

Dec 26, 2024
January is National Get Organized Month and now is the time to GET ORGANIZED!

Local Licensed Educational Psychologist, Bethany Zoeller, President of Insights Assessment and Counseling, Inc. states, “Your work desk often mirrors your state of mind. As a mom and business owner, when I'm stressed, my desk becomes a sea of books and paperwork. The problem is, as clutter builds up, so does stress. That's why creating an organized, yet functional workspace is crucial for maintaining a clear and focused flow between work and home life. As someone with ADHD, I heavily rely on visual reminders but can also be easily overwhelmed by visual clutter. So, I've streamlined my desk to include only essentials: a row of frequently used reference books and a corkboard/whiteboard combo. I keep three months of calendars and my appointment slots on the corkboard, while my whiteboard serves as a rotating to-do list. This setup helps me stay organized, which is vital for balancing my responsibilities as a working mom. By keeping my desk tidy, I create a calm environment that supports both productivity and peace of mind.”

January 13 is National Clean Your Desk Day, and we are here to help you declutter your workspace. Check out a few of our favorite items that will help you streamline your desk setup.
