Desk Organization - A Simple Solution

I hate to say it - but summer is almost over.

No more laying around in bed on a Monday afternoon.

*sigh*

On the other hand, each year brings a fresh beginning, a new opportunity. Be it high school, college, or just returning to your job from a couple weeks off, take this opportunity to reorganize your life, your mind, and - well, maybe your room a little bit too. I've always had a messy desk, but this year I decided to change that. Also - stay tuned till the end for a surprise!

My desk is pretty cool. It's antique and it's beautiful.

Unfortunately, it's also quite small.

Like most desks it's got three main drawers and one smaller one for pencils, pens, and other writing utensils. So to make sure I get the most space out of my desk - while keeping it organized - I use jewelry organizers. Keeping all my pens and pencils in rows without dividers of any sort was a mess. Since I'm constantly opening and closing my drawers they'd move around and the whole arrangement got messed up. These organizers proved to be a perfect solution.

I got one big one and one small one. In the bigger one I separated my pencils, pens, colored pencils, and assorted goods (ex: ruler, whole puncher etc). These went in the four main compartments. In the fifth one I put markers and highlighters.

In the smaller one, I put a bunch of various objects that I use almost as often as pencils and pens (ex: erasers, paper clips, etc).

The best part - organizing my desk like this didn't take long at all! Now, when I reach in I'll know exactly where everything is.

As promised I have a little surprise for you all! This post was actually a collaborations with Lex Meets World, so head over to her blog to check out her tips for avoiding stress during the school year.
