Keeping your Office Supplies Organized

OK, maybe the title is a little misleading. This isn't about keeping all your office supplies organized. Just a helpful tip on keeping small miscellaneous items such as binder clips and file folder labels organized.

 

When I moved into my work space at Rubbermaid I inherited a fair amount of binder clips and file folder labels and I needed to find a way to keep them organized. I also happened to have a few TakeAlongs containers laying around. I put two and two together and decided to put the extra supplies inside the containers. Then, since the lids were not 100% clear I ended up using a Dymo labeler to label the contents. These containers then went back into the desk drawer ready for when I need them.

 

Above is a photo of the binder clips and below are the file folder labels. If I hadn't stored these items in the TakeAlongs containers then would have been sliding all around the desk drawer. Now they are nice and neat. I hope this gives you a small bit of inspiration.
