I once worked in an office that was run by a head secretary who was one of the most organized people I have ever met in my whole life. In every office that I’ve ever worked in since then, I’ve always longed for the kind of controlled and organized environment that existed in the office that she ran.

Luckily, I learned a few cool organizational tricks from her during the time that I worked under her command. One of these tricks was to use a basic school supply list to create a supply list for my own cubicle or office so that I would always know what I was running out of and what to request to have purchased when it came time to place orders for the office.

It turns out that a lot of teacher supplies are also used in the office so you can use a basic school supply list to get started with your office list. It will have things on it like pens and pencils, binders and sheet protectors, paper and Kleenex … things that you not only use in a classroom but also need in your cubicle. Then just add the additional things that you might need in your office and highlight the items on the list whenever they are running low.
