Professional Organizer’s Pick: Home Office Organization Product #10

Label Maker from Staples

I’m really not quite sure how this label maker photo turned out so big, but it’s fitting since it’s one of the most important home office organization tools around! This particular “brother” happens to be very similar to the one I use in my own home office as well as with my clients. No matter how nice your handwriting is, and I know mine is nice because my daughter’s principal told me so , you just can’t beat the look of a crisp, clear label.

When I bought my first label maker, I was trying out the labels in many places in my home to see how the labels would stick on different surfaces including inside my refrigerator. I never know what a client might want! After I labeled everything, including the pencil cup, we had a new babysitter come over. I had to give a disclaimer that my house didn’t normally have labels all over everything. So, there is a balance to be had when you get excited about your new toy!

Top 5 Benefits of using a label maker

**Labels make it easy for other people to find what they need in your home office

**Labels look professional

**Labels show off the fact that you took the time & energy to organize your home office

**Labels are easy to read

If you are a Costco member, look for the same brother P-touch that I use for under $30 with label tape & batteries. Costco also sells the refill label cartridges at a great discount, of course you will get four! Take some time to label your files & folders and have your home office looking fantastically organized-you can do it!
