Have you ever struggled with keeping materials, books, and projects organized? You and me both. Especially after the back-to-school rush when clutter starts to build, I find it necessary to take a few minutes and really think through my organization methods. Let me offer you solutions to help streamline your homeschool space, based on what has worked for us.
-
- Bookshelves or cubby organizers: Furinno Bookcase
-
- Rolling carts for art supplies or curriculum (my daughter loves hers!): Costway Storage Cart
-
- Wall-mounted file holders or desktop organizers for lesson plans
-
- Label makers (e.g., Brother P-Touch) for creating a tidy system
These products have saved me a lot of time. Did you know Americans spend 1.5 hours per week looking for things they have misplaced? That turns into 2.5 days per year. What a shame!
I have also found that these organization tools reduce the stress which comes from feeling lost or unproductive. Last but not least, I can stay in a state of teaching flow if I have all my ducks in a row – if I know where to find files, folders, supplies, books, and notebooks. Invaluable.
