This weekend I am putting together my new home office. With my big life change I told you about in this post, I will be spending a little more time working from home. So what does mean? My home office needs to be totally organized and fun to work in. One of my big goals is to go paperless with the help of Evernote. Which means I have a lot of scanning to do but it will be worth it in the end. I am already seeing my productivity increase with Evernote because I search a topic and find something right when I need it! Another goal is to have an office that makes me happy and motivates and inspires me. I also want to be able to reference books and quotes right when I need them. I really feel that to do the best work that I know I am capable of, I need to be surrounded by the best surroundings as well. If things are cluttered and unorganized, it is just going to overwhelm me and slow me down.
The first thing I am doing this weekend, is re-reading the book that helped me get uncluttered a year ago, Unclutter Your Life in One Week. This book really got me moving last year after I read this quote:
“Your office sends messages about what kind of a worker you are. Having a chronically disorganized office screams, “I am an ineffective worker! This may not seem like such a big deal, but these perceptions can end up having a negative impact on your career.”
I am hoping that very soon I can share my photos of my new office with you! But today is all about getting the inspiration to organize and decorate. And where is the perfect place to go to do that? Pinterest of course! Here are some inspiring office photos that I found in case you also want to do some organizing this weekend.
I love the colors and chair in this uncluttered office.

I am not sure about the green, but I love all the organization in this office! Even though I didn’t go to an interior design school, I would love it if my home and office looked like I did!
