Convenient storage of documents at home. Family archive. How to store documents, photos and antiques at home. How to organize personal and household documents
With the help of the Internet, we can solve many problems: make an appointment with a doctor, pay a fine, send documents to a government agency. But at the same time, paper documents are an important and necessary part of life. Starting from birth, each person is overgrown with “papers” confirming his identity and rights. Therefore, the question - how to store documents at home, will always be relevant.
What documents do each of us have?
Family: passports, certificates, wills.
Real estate and transport: documents for an apartment, telephone, electricity, house, cottage, car.
Education: certificates, diplomas, certificates.
Job: contracts, pension savings, contracts, work books.
Medicine: policies, statements, examinations, insurance.
Household appliances, appliances, furniture: warranty cards, checks, instructions.
Receipts for utility bills
Other: contracts for the provision of services, insured events.
How long to keep documents?
Eat important documents, which we need to keep all our lives, and there are papers that can be thrown away after a couple of months as unnecessary.
Documents to be kept at all times- marriage certificate and other family documents, birth certificate, diplomas, certificates, certificates and attestations, examination documents, hospital discharges, wills, notarized papers, pension documents.
Documents for real estate, car, especially important and expensive purchases; all documents relating to work until retirement are those Documents to be kept while you are the owner or as long as they are up-to-date.
Checks and receipts all more or less large purchases must be stored for 12 months. If some items are guaranteed for more than one year, keep proof of payment according to the period specified in the warranty card.
Checks for payment for the services of a lawyer, doctor, teacher, etc. must be kept for three years. In case of litigation and the need to provide the original, make photocopies of receipts and keep them with you. Checks confirming payment for treatment may be useful for processing a personal income tax refund.
Be sure to keep contracts for connection of all utilities: electricity, gas, water, telephone, intercom, Internet, cable TV, etc. All communal payments(receipts and stubs) must be kept for a minimum of 3 years, a maximum of 5. After this period, they can be disposed of.
Hold medical records all family members in an accessible place. If you prefer private clinics, keep their receipt stubs for at least two years. They may be needed during various proceedings and insurance payments. A card indicating the blood type, the presence of allergies to antibiotics and chronic diseases diabetes should always be carried with you. Let it lie in your wallet or driver's license. A card with the above information can save your life if you end up in the hospital as a result of an accident.
Get rid of what you don't need right away
According to Marie Kondo, there are a number of documents that should be immediately disposed of as they have fulfilled their function:
educational material, which has never come in handy after attending a seminar or training;
Operating Instructions if you have long and well understood how this or that technique works;
credit card statements, check books, pay slips.
The term "documents", by the way, does not include paper documents of sentimental value, such as old love letters or diaries.
To avoid unnecessary documents, the Fly Lady system suggests considering how often to parse and sort documents: once a day, a week or a month.
My colleague shares how to implement this principle in his life Alyona:
“While learning the Fly Lady system, I got rid of a huge amount of unnecessary, irrelevant. The volume of documents has decreased by 3 times! Now Mondays are my paperwork day. I collect the documents that I used or that appeared during the week, and in a few minutes I decide their fate - put them in a folder for storage, leave them in work for the time being, or throw them away. Thanks to this habit, they stopped growing into a huge paper ball.
How to store and sort?
How many hostesses - so many storage systems. Basically, each family has 2-3 folders for documents. In one - personal documents, in the other - receipts and warranty cards.
For each category, you can make your own separate organizer for easy storage and quick search for the desired document. And here are examples of my colleagues and acquaintances, how they store documents in their homes.
Ring folders with files suitable for storing a large number of papers, for each type of document - its own color.
Elena:“In one folder are instructions for household appliances, receipt, warranty card, for each device in a separate file. In the other - receipts for public utilities, loan agreements with checks, “letters of happiness” from the tax office and their payment, there are also my and my husband’s employment contracts, salary certificates, real estate contracts. I keep the rest of my documents in folders in my desk drawer.”
By the way, Elena always keeps at home a file with copies of almost all documents in several copies, which is very convenient and saves time in case a photocopy is urgently needed.
Plastic envelopes with buttons- the most popular place for storing papers. And if you select a folder for each category of documents and sign it, as in Aigul, you can save a lot of time looking for a particular paper.
It is more convenient to store personal documents of each family member in Pelastic pockets with ziplock. That's what my sister does Regina. Receipts - in files. To keep them from deforming, store them in an organizer/folder or make holes at their base with a hole punch and put them in a ring binder.
Plastic folder with attached files inside. They can contain from 10 to 100 files. It is convenient to store receipts for months and years in them. My colleague uses this method Natalia. And other documents are stored simply in a shoe box.
IN laptop bag my other colleague keeps all his documents Alyona. It has several "compartments" and pockets. In one compartment are medical documents, in the other - the originals of documents, sorted into files, in the third - photocopies. Passports, medical books, certificates in one of the pockets. In the pantry there is also a paper bag with instructions for household appliances.
Here are some more ideas on how to store documents:
Photo albums and envelopes are great places to store receipts and receipts.
Various paper holders will look great in your family archive! There are many options. Choose what you liked!
Where to store?
To ensure that important documents are always safe and sound, they must be stored in a dry and clean place, as members of the Everything in Place team do. Alyona keeps in wardrobe Elena - on the shelf and in the drawer of the desk.
I note that in the bedroom and in the office - the best place to store documents, but when choosing a suitable shelf or cabinet, think about:
Firstly whether it will be convenient for you to get all your documents. Tip: tell your family members where the folder with the most important documents is, in case of unforeseen situations, so that they take it first;
Secondly, make sure your documents are out of the reach of small children and pets. Tip: Keep everything that is valuable to you on the top shelves or where they can be locked up.
After numerous attempts by my son to get to our important papers, I put everything on the top shelf of the bedroom closet. I keep in three folders - personal documents of each family member, documents for real estate and transport, receipts and photocopies. Warranty cards, without instructions for use, I keep in a file in my desk drawer.
I prefer to store in a vertical way, everything is at hand and in plain sight. One minus - if the folder is not rigid, then it and the papers lying in it can be deformed. Therefore, if you choose such a storage method, then take a closer look at such coasters.
One thing: Regina, the owner of the documents from the previous photo, keeps an organizer with documents in the bedroom, on the shelf of the book table. Again, this option is not suitable for those who have small children. And better keep papers away from straight sun rays, because this may lead to flashing and early aging paper.
One solution for document storage is to store papers in boxes. However, it may be tempting to dump all the documents indiscriminately into them. For convenience, arrange everything in files or fix the stacks with paper clips, as does Natasha.
Unexpected situations
The most important documents are best stored in a special fireproof box or in a safe. Among the hostesses I interviewed, two have a safe. A colleague of mine has a safe that is not suitable for permanent storage of documents (due to its size). But when she and her family are away for more than a few days, she moves the folder with the most important documents to the safe. The other hostess, on the contrary, has a roomy safe, but she does not store there the documents that she uses most often (personal documents, medical records, etc.). It stores papers for real estate and transport, certificates and diplomas.
It is believed that the safest place to store important documents, family archives and valuables is a safe deposit box or depository, especially if you rent an apartment or live in a hostel. But I don't think many people do that. Of course, you can make photocopies in the old fashioned way and give them to your next of kin for safekeeping. But if you prefer to keep up with the times, then it is better to choose cloud storages like Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, Evernote, YandexDisk, Cloud @mail.ru. Naturally, we are talking about scanned copies. In addition, this method is ideal for storing receipts, from bank receipts to store receipts, which tend to fade over time.
I hope that the proposed options for storing documents will be useful to you. Share in the comments how you store documents at home in our groups
Effective cleaning involves only two essential steps:
get rid of the unnecessary and determine where to store the necessary.
Marie Kondo
Let us immediately determine to whom the article is addressed. It is primarily for those who have accumulated a lot of different papers, receipts, brochures and other similar good. Musicians, poets, journalists and designers of all stripes, read and do not grumble, looking at the mountains of different papers. Who else asks themselves questions: how to store documents? where to store documents? I propose to deal with them (mountains) once and for all. An article about how to put things in order, how to store documents where and in general about systematizing anything.
Part 1
If someone does not know, then nothing in this life happens just like that. Even if it's a random surprise. One seemingly shabby circumstance, such a small episode, sometimes entails a chain of fateful events. That's what happened to me too. So.
I lost my diploma higher education. I don’t remember when, where and under what circumstances I saw him for the last time. For many years, I don’t brag about it anywhere, I work in one place, I’m not elected anywhere. There is an extract from it, there are photocopies, there is a copy certified by a notary. There is no diploma. A month ago, I specifically reviewed all my papers - I did not find it. But put things in order (as it seemed to me then). The other day, when it dawned on me that I had lost it forever, I was very upset. Anxious, as if something very important forgot to do. And for good reason, as it turned out. Then a chain of events followed, which became the reason for writing this opus.
Retreat No. 1. Illogical.
Since I am into copywriting and sometimes visit freelance exchanges, where I saw an article called "Recommendations for storing documents." Something popped in my head. Here, I think, is just what I need. Since I am the information supporter of this wonderful site for young (and not so) housewives, I decided that an article on how to properly store documents would not be superfluous here.
The announcement of the article was standard: it promised to be informative and interesting, it intrigued by the presence of a competent text, divided into logical paragraphs. I, as a buyer warmed by circumstances, bought it. The article was cheap. For those who are not in the know, it is possible to read the full text of the article only after paying for it, which I did in a minute.
The text itself surprised me at first. Outright illiteracy coexisted with complete nonsense. To be honest, I am not the kind of person who lives in captivity of illusions, I know a lot about people and work in the field of recruitment saved me from rose-colored glasses. But even I did not know that in this place people are able to “sell” such things. In principle, it would be possible to place the entire text here, believe me, it's worth it. But, I will not abuse and please with only a few phrases. “Often, when trying to find a document, people have to look for the right papers for a long time.” You can't argue, when you try to find, you have to look. "Small envelope-shaped folders and a few hole punches will also be needed." Krutyak. If it were just "hole punchers", I decided that it was just a typo, but a few! “Further, even easier - just take the hole punchers and pierce the envelopes.” “In addition, thanks to the shape of the envelopes, you can easily pull out the necessary papers. There will be no need to pull the stick out of the ring.” No comments. And in conclusion: “It’s a good option to keep documents with relatives.” The advice is dubious, I don’t know how many people are ready to take advantage of it.
I bought such a funny article for a penny, but I got twenty dollars worth of joy, no less.
Retreat #2. Logical.
So, since posting an article in this form would be the height of disrespect for you, dear readers, I decided to look into the topic myself and write an article. Without delay, on the same day I opened the Google search engine and typed the phrase "How to store documents." I was flooded with an abundance of all kinds of advice, videos and photos. Having spent about two hours on the review, I want to tell you the following: the Internet is a terrible thing, everyone steals from each other not only topics and photos, almost everywhere there is a solid cheap rewrite. And it's terrible. By the way, the text that I bought, though in a more adequate version, I met on three more sites. I don't know who slammed who.
More or less interesting sites and blogs on this topic started much further from the front ranks in Google. Know it(!). Some I even liked. For example, this one http://theazbel.com/stop-hlam-part6/. It is immediately evident that he is engaged in a bright, honest and creative person. My name is Masha. But, most of the articles on the topic of paper storage, as it seemed to me, are mostly motivational in nature. But this is also good.
Retreat #3. Personal.
If there are two stores nearby, one with fashionable, beautiful clothes and with big discounts, and the other stationery, I will first go to the second one. Because I adore stationery store s. Paper soul. This is to make it clear where I have so many stationery at home. But, despite this, my papers, including documents, although they always lay in one place and seemed to be even sorted, sometimes it was not easy to find what you needed quickly. Fate decided to give me a lesson, and now, in just two days, I did what I should have done a long time ago.
In addition, sometimes I write articles for local newspapers, so the city printing house has long had its own person, from there I have a bunch of chopped small sizes self-adhesives (they are in the trash in packs), which I use everywhere. I don't know how people live without them.
Based on the foregoing, I decided to write this rather monumental work. This is not just a review. Here I tried not only to generalize everything, but also to bring in a lot of my personal experience, well, and aggravated it with emotional inserts. I hope the article will resonate with those who “do not see the white light” due to the abundance of papers, do not know where to start and where to run, as well as those who want to find some document or just a piece of paper with valuable information in the depths of their desks, cabinets and boxes. Of course, for everything written below, the copyright does not rely, but, believe me, you will not find this anywhere. So go ahead.
The main stages on the way to order
You will never get your house in order
if you clean up.
Marie Kondo
Assess the scale of the disaster
First you need to find a surface where all the papers would fit. Definitely, you will need a table, or maybe not one or stools, a sofa is also suitable, or it might be better to sit on the floor. And also think about how long it can take to parse. If you realize that you can’t master the analysis at one time, it’s better to reschedule the event. And the most important condition is that no one interferes.
Papers of all stripes - in a pile!
Lay out everything that you have planned on the prepared bridgehead at once. For example, if everything is in order with photos or recipes, let them lie further, do not touch them. Why do extra work!
Retreat #3 Emotional.
Oh girls, lucky you. Well, no one writes about it better than me. Why? The smart ones won't waste their time describing how they store papers (think know-how), and the rest just don't have enough papers to offer something sensible. In short, read on.
To be honest, if I hadn’t read it a week earlier and hadn’t looked (and what a name!), I wouldn’t have started such a large-scale event. And certainly, there would be no reason for this article. The approach to business, the principles and methods that Marie proposed in her bestseller found a lively response in my soul. Although I confess, I have never been obsessed with cleaning, and now I do not understand perfectionists of various calibers who waste young energy on such boring things. But, I respect and love order.
So Marie writes: “Cleaning is a special event that happens once in a lifetime.” A strange and no less controversial statement. The Japanese seem to be a little different. If more than two people live in the house, then it is likely that not everyone will adhere to strict rules. But it is necessary to strive for this. Once and for all he put everything in its place, and then it remains only to put everything in its place.
It's hard to believe, but this cleaning was a real holiday for me, and for sure, I've never cleaned up like this before. I can compare my state of mind with the preparation for Easter or for the New Year on December 31st. In all cases, the joyful feeling of the future holiday overwhelms the soul and you create without feeling tired. Yes, I did not say that all this happened against the backdrop of the immortal creations of the Scorpions. "Love, love will keep us alive" - says Klaus Meine for many years, which means "love, love will keep us alive." To paraphrase: order, and only order, will keep us alive.
It is obvious that any securities require an extremely careful and attentive attitude. After all, their accidental damage or loss is fraught with far from rosy consequences. Exhausting running around the authorities in order to restore the cherished testimonies and certificates can not only take a lot of time from a person, but also pretty fray nerves. In this article, we will tell you how to store documents at home.
Choosing the right place
When looking for the optimal hiding place for papers, you must first of all be guided by the principle of safety. It is important to take care that the documents are not damaged and are hidden from the eyes of strangers, whether they are employees or thieves. If there are small children in the house, the papers placed in the bottom drawer of the table may be painted or torn by young fidgets. Therefore, in this case, the most inaccessible place should be chosen for the cache. Safe, mezzanine or top shelf bookcase fit quite well.
It is appropriate to say that the desktop will not be the safest place to store documents. Accidentally spilled coffee or an unexpectedly flowing draft is highly likely to lead to damage to securities. In addition, the documentation located in a conspicuous place is an excellent find for a burglar who has appeared. The only exceptions are boxes with a key or with a secret bottom. However, if you want to extract their contents, it will also not be difficult. That is why the owner of the apartment should thoroughly reflect on the question of where to store documents at home.
However, you should not be too sophisticated when arranging a suitable "shelter" for papers. After all, the chosen place should be not only safe, but also accessible to the owner. Agree that situations are different and sometimes valuable documents may be needed at the most unexpected moment. In the event of a fire, earthquake or any other emergency, literally every second counts. The search for a compromise between security and availability is, although quite difficult, but quite solvable. Here, modern functional interior items equipped with special caches come to the aid of especially prudent people. Their category includes shelves with drawers, books-safes, replica sockets and other tricky devices (photo).
Ways to store documents
Needless to say, the papers must be kept in order. Otherwise, the search for a particular document will take a lot of precious time from a person. Many of us go through piles of the same type of sheets every month, trying to find a fresh receipt among long-paid bills. A detailed approach to the distribution of papers helps to cope with this problem. As an example, let's take the most good ideas and ways of storing documents.
In folders
The best solution would be to purchase a product on rings, which fits an impressive number of files with papers (photo). Most of these folders have an A4 format, which is the best suited for storing certificates, certificates, contracts, real estate documents, etc. If you wish, you should get a few thin office supplies designed for each field of activity. By sticking notes on folders with the inscriptions “work”, “family”, “housing”, “bank”, you can greatly facilitate your task of finding the required paper. It would also be useful to include in the first file a complete list of documents indicating the pages of their location. It is recommended to stick receipts and checks on sheets of A4 format before placing them in a folder. In this case, only the upper left corner should be fixed in order to avoid damage to documents.
A worthy alternative to a voluminous folder is a special briefcase with many compartments, which can be purchased at any stationery store. Such devices are presented in a wide variety of designs, from strict classic to elegant feminine. Picking the one you like won't be difficult. The only disadvantage of the briefcase folder lies in the impossibility of turning pages and freely viewing documents. Therefore, to ensure their own convenience, the owner of the "security depository" will have to take care of the appropriate inscriptions and notes. illustrative example placement of documents inside the briefcase folder is presented in the video:
In photo albums
Surprising as it may seem, but such accessories with magnetic sheets can perform other functions besides storing commemorative pictures. For example, you can place payment receipts in them, for fixing which you do not have to resort to glue. In addition, each sheet has a place for inscriptions and notes, which is also very convenient.
In envelopes
Paper "pockets" are best suited for storing old receipts, checks and other papers that it's time to send to the archive. Such documents come in handy extremely rarely, but many still do not risk throwing them away. By making an appropriate mark on the envelope, you can safely place it in the far corner of a drawer or shelf.
in boxes
They can store almost anything, and documents are by no means an exception. However, the random storage of papers inside the cardboard container will lead to problems associated with their subsequent search. Therefore, before placing documents in a box, it would be useful to distribute them into separate folders or multiforms, depending on the purpose. As for passports, diplomas and other non-standard papers in hard covers, it is better to have a separate thick envelope for them. By the way, today there are very convenient accessories made in the form of a file cabinet with separators (photo). Some of them can be locked and used as a safe.
- Documents should be stored away from water and sunlight to prevent damage or fading.
- It would be useful to have a folder with photocopies of all important papers, and then transfer it to relatives living separately or place it in a bank cell. More modern solution data will be transferred to a specially purchased flash card. This will help a person to quickly restore the originals lost as a result of an emergency (fire, flood, theft, etc.).
- You should not keep an outpatient card at home, because this is a violation of the legislation of the Russian Federation. As a legal document, it should be kept at the registry, not in the hands of the patient.
- Since paper receipts are prone to fading, it is recommended that you make photocopies of them when making large purchases.
- It is worth starting sorting papers right from the mailbox. No need to store useless flyers, free classified ads newspapers and business cards at home - it's better to immediately send them to the bucket. In the absence of free time, useful papers should be placed on top of a box or folder with documents, promising yourself to set aside a couple of minutes during the day to sort them. Having received an invitation to an event or a notification of a parcel by mail, it is recommended to make an appropriate reminder note in the diary.
- To streamline the documents, it is necessary to revise them at least once a year. At the same time, each paper should be evaluated only once, either leaving it for storage or immediately throwing it away.
Thus, the answer to the question of how to store documents at home depends on the tastes and preferences of the person. If some people are limited to ordinary cardboard boxes, then others buy expensive safes or even equip tricky hiding places in the apartment. One way or another, important papers should be in an accessible and convenient place for the owner. Do not forget also about maintaining order in the documents. rational distribution papers depending on their purpose and regular audits will help to avoid problems associated with a protracted search for the necessary information.
“In the end, order, and only order, creates freedom. Disorder creates slavery"
Charles Peguy
With this article, I open a new section on the site - "Let's put things in order!"
Articles on organizing, optimizing and littering the space around us will be posted here - at home, work office, electronic space (computer, etc.), papers, wardrobe, etc.
Julia Morgenstern, in her book Inside-out Self-Organization, argues that people surround themselves with chaos simply because they have not learned to be organized. Being organized is simply a skill that can and should be learned.
Algorithm for ordering home documents
1. Inventory of all papers.
At this stage, collect all the documents available in the house in one place and sort into two groups:
-garbage - send it to the trash can (irrelevant information, expiration dates have expired, are of no value, etc.)
-important and necessary - should be kept.
2. Sorting by categories.
The documents that we left for storage are sorted into categories:
-financial documents (utility bills, loan documents, taxes)
-property (movable and immovable: documents for housing, land, car, etc.)
-personal documents or documents of family members (passports, insurance certificates, diplomas, awards, health documents, etc.)
-instructions, passports, checks and guarantees for purchased goods
-documents on areas of activity (hobbies, maintaining household, training, development, etc.)
In case of a large volume of documents in one of the proposed categories, it is possible to single out separate subcategories. For example, if a family has a lot of medical or educational documents, it is better to organize a separate category “Medicine”, “Education”, “Portfolio”, etc.
So in my version, I singled out the documents that make up the portfolio of my family members (awards, certificates, etc.) into separate storage categories
3. Purchase of stationery and creation of a document storage system.
After the sorting of documents, the volume to be stored becomes clear. The question arises: “How best to organize the storage of documents?”
The storage system must meet the requirements:
-accommodate the required volume of documents;
-Easy to place and take out the necessary document from system.
“Main rule: your storage system should be a simple library, not reminders of actions, projects, priorities” David Allen
Following this rule, reminders of paying bills or processing certain documents should be built into your diaries, and not into the document filing system.
To date, the range of stationery for storing documents is very extensive. For myself, I settled on storage folders with two rings and envelope folders, which make it easy to put a document in and take it out of the folder.
4. Organize documents in categories.
I processed documents in each category: separate documents were arranged into folders, which were combined into a folder by a drive with the name of a particular category.
On each folder I wrote what exactly is stored in it. She added due dates and other reminders to her diary.
5. Translation of documents into electronic form.
Today, it is increasingly becoming relevant to store information in in electronic format. This reduces the time to access information (no need to rummage through folders), makes it possible to access information that is not tied to a specific document storage location.
At the final stage of organizing documents, ask yourself the question: what documents can I store electronically without compromising the availability of this information?
For myself, I decided to keep financial documents for online payments from now on only in electronic form.
I translated all sorts of papers on hobbies and activities into notes in Evernote (Evernote). For example, gardening papers took up a decent amount of space and were kept in a folder. These were both handwritten notes and printed documents, pictures, etc. All this mass was once again revised for its value and issued in notes, united in one notebook in Evernote (Evernote). Now this information is available to me not only at home, but also in any other place, which has increased my ability to use information.
From recipes I got rid of paperwork earlier, wrote about it in. Now more and more recipes are also placed in Evernote (Evernote). Useful materials on healthy lifestyle and personal development also translated into electronic form.
Scanned personal documents for the purpose of prompt processing of services and placed them on an external medium (removable disk).
The degree of transition to the storage of information in electronic form, everyone must decide for themselves, depending on their preferences and capabilities. From my own experience, I can say that the use of digitized documents is also a trainable skill and brings many additional benefits to our lives. But this is a separate topic for discussion ...
I will be glad if my experience becomes and YOUR DECISION life tasks!
Many psychologists argue that any undertakings in work directly depend on the order in your workplace. It is up to everyone to decide whether such a statement is correct, but no one will argue with the fact that the beauty and functionality of the desktop already makes any business successful. Therefore, wherever you build your working area(meaning which room in the house), always pay attention to even the smallest details.
To store various little things, you can use a variety of things that you can either buy in stores or do it yourself. Here are a few examples of such details - document boxes, holders and stands for papers and postcards, sticker boards, jars and cups for stationery, and much more.

Documentation
Statisticians have determined that we spend about 140 hours a year searching for the right document. Therefore, remember the main thing - any documents must be stored in folders! For example, files with documentation for a month can be put into perforated folders. But already quarterly folders are easy to store in segregators or, as they are also called, archive folders. There are only four of them per year. Choose sizes and colors according to your taste (A4/50, A4/75, A5/50, A5/75, etc.) Such folders take up a lot of space and are best stored somewhere on the upper shelves above the table. As for the documents that you will use every day, it is better to keep them close to you. This is where paper trays come in. They are vertical and horizontal, plastic, wooden and metal. Less space occupy, of course, vertical.

office trifle
Such trifles as pens, markers, paper clips, staplers, stickers, etc. also carry a mess and inconvenience. Remember how much time it takes to find a pen of the right color or a writing highlighter. This will help special containers for paper clips and cups for pens. An advantageous option would be a spinner organizer, which collects all the small items. However, you can beat more original ones and make several “chests” for paper clips, staples, adhesive tape and others. small parts. But lay out the writing accessories in cups, which you can make yourself or buy in stationery stores.

Jars for pencils and pens
Notes, stickers, calendars
Also on the table there are always a bunch of little notes, pieces of paper with phone numbers, advertisements, calendars and so on. A quick and easy way to get rid of such “garbage” is to purchase a special reminder board. It can be magnetic marker, and maybe cork. The first, of course, is a more profitable option (not in terms of price, but in terms of convenience), you can not only hang the necessary information on it, but also quickly write down a phone number, address, or make some sketches. On cork board all the same numerical notes, business cards and stickers are simply pricked.
Order on the desktop
And of course, the desktop. Depending on the area in which your workplace is located and you need to choose a table. It can be square, simple rectangular or angular. The main thing is that it has a lot of compartments and shelves. An ideal option can be considered a table with four drawers and two mini safes. If the volume of boxes allows zoning then go ahead! Break them into cells for invoices, invoices and other necessary pieces of paper. An excellent option would be a double bottom in drawer. Any top-secret documents and materials can be hidden there, and even the tax authorities will never dig them out.
Do not forget about the different hooks, which are sometimes so necessary for bags and packages. If such a trifle was not provided for by manufacturers of office furniture, then it is easy to fill them yourself in any place convenient for you.
Waste bin
A very necessary item for creative work it's a trash can. It can be installed both in any corner near the desktop, and directly on the table itself. There are special small buckets that have a volume of no more than two liters. The trash can can be round, square or even triangular in shape. And finally, more examples of successful organization of storage and order in the workplace at home.
