Lately, one of my favorite home office tools has been a little white board that I bought from Target for about $10.
I am a note fiend, like my mother- who I work for, I have a constant need to jot down sporadic thoughts, new ideas, my to-do lists, project notes, grocery lists, etc. My mother used to love Post It notes. She had notes all over her office and the clutter drove me crazy. I have always been a notebook jotter, but even in that the page turning, lack of organization, and general messiness got old.
I keep notes and “to do” lists with my emails, but I work best applying actual physical activity of writing down my thoughts. The system I have been using the last couple of months then has been to jot down notes as I think of them and add them later to my more organized line of thinking via my Mac.
