Messiest Desk Contest: Step 2 – Sort & Purge

As with any organizing project, the first step is taking the time to sort through all of the items in your space. It can be an exhausting process but our organizers are trained to help people through the process logistically and emotionally.

For Donna’s desk, we used boxes, bags, sticky notes and magazine files to sort through everything in her desk.  Before we knew it, the preschooler’s naptime was over and we had finished sorting!  In the process, we donated several bags of items to charity, shredded several bags of old papers, recycled as much as possible and gathered items she needed to take home with her.

Before we left for the day, we made it a priority to stack the sorted items neatly and out of the way. Stay tuned for more updates and view more photos of the sorting process on Facebook.
