This weekend I am putting together my new home office. With my big life change I told you about in this post, I will be spending a little more time working from home. So what does mean? My home office needs to be totally organized and fun to work in. One of my big goals is to go paperless with the help of Evernote.
Another goal is to have an office that makes me happy and motivates and inspires me. I also want to be able to reference books and quotes right when I need them. I really feel that to do the best work that I know I am capable of, I need to be surrounded by the best surroundings as well. If things are cluttered and unorganized, it is just going to overwhelm me and slow me down.
Which means I have a lot of scanning to do but it will be worth it in the end. I am already seeing my productivity increase with Evernote because I search a topic and find something right when I need it!

The first thing I am doing this weekend is re-reading the book that helped me get uncluttered a year ago, Unclutter Your Life in One Week. This book really got me moving last year after I read this quote:
“Your office sends messages about what kind of a worker you are. Having a chronically disorganized office screams, “I am an ineffective worker! This may not seem like such a big deal, but these perceptions can end up having a negative impact on your career.”
