Hi, everyone. I'm Alejandra from Alejandra.TV. And in this video, I'm going to show you how
to organize your office closet.
But first, if you're looking to get organized, you can check out my free organizing video
series on my website, Alejandra.TV. The link is below.
OK. So when it comes to organizing your office closet, one of the biggest problems that I
see and hear about is like all the supplies that you need organize in the closet or like
all the wires and cords you need to contain or just like the extra stuff stuffed into
a small office closet and nothing is really organized and it's frustrating when it's coming
time to like access some stuff.
So let me show you what I do to kind of keep everything streamlined, efficient, organized,
and beautiful. All right. So starting with the door right here, so my home office is
it has a dual purpose of like the home office but also the craft room and the gift wrap
materials. So on the door right here, I've put a bungee cord. It's like a bungee cord
with hooks on it which I will put a link to all the products I'm going to show on my website.
But this just stays at the top of the door right here and all the gift bags just kind
of hang right here. It's nice and out of the way because you kind of want to keep your
gift bags organized because you don't want to give a gift with all the bags ripped and
torn and crinkled and stuff, so they stay nice and intact right here.
And then on this over-door-hook up here, I just have all the wine bags to kind of like
separate them out. But yeah, everything is just organized and out and out of the way.
All right. So starting in the back corner back here, I have all of my paper like back-up
paper, like computer paper, colored paper, extra notebooks and stuff inside of this hanging
sweater bag organizer. So I love this. I was trying to think like, "How can I organize
papers in here without having to like tear down all the shelving in this closet?" Because
like I would love to tear down the shelving but we're renting the house. And so, that
was not an option. So everything inside this closet is free-standing and it will just move
with me once we moved to the new house.
All right. So the sweater bag organizer is actually hanging backwards. It's hanging on
this middle shelf right here. Like this is the main rod. It's not hanging on this rod
because if it was, it would be too close to the wall and then you couldn't pull anything
out like easily. So I'm hanging that on the middle one backwards. It's kind of a long
explanation. But once something doesn't work, you got to try multiple things until you get
it to work.
So see, I have my label maker here. This is my old one. This is my new one. This is my
lined paper, colored lined paper, construction paper, computer paper, there are interior
file folders that I keep on hand to use them for projects and stuff, there are more file
folders, there are training books.
And then down here, I have all of my old to-do lists. So one of the things I don't throw
away are my old to-do lists because they're kind of like diaries. Like I love going back
and looking back at like here, this is like five years ago. Like I love looking back and
seeing like, "Oh, what was I doing in 2008?" or like, "Wow! Like I don't know, I'm not
doing that anymore." Or, "Wow! I was so efficient that day." Or something like that. It's just
fun to go back and look. So I just keep them down here and then whenever I'm getting organized
or something, I'll just take a look down there.
OK. Up here in these purple or this pink bins, I have grass for like Easter time or to put
at the bottom of a gift bag to make it like -- give it more fluff or something. And everything
is organized into these freezer bags right here. So these freezer bags, I literally use
these things like I don't know, like five times over and over like once I reuse them
a couple of times in the kitchen, I'll bring them up to my craft room in my office and
then I'll just reuse them in here. So that just stays in there, nice and organized.
OK. So moving on to this middle section right here, so I found these free-standing shelves.
They're just like stacked really nicely and I'm stacking them like, I think there are
four of them stacked. But I put all the shoe boxes here for all of my extra supplies in
the my office like extra pens, pencils, back-up supplies, greeting cards sorted by category
like thank you, holiday, birthday, all those things, and then like some craft materials
for doing crafty things. So they stay in here.
And then I just have extra bottles of water right here so if I don't want to go downstairs
and get water, I can just grab one of these. I have my battery kit right here which I will
do a video and show you what that looks like. And I have all of my tackle boxes. I actually
have eight tackle boxes in this closet with all types of like small organizing gadgets
that you might have in your office like ink cartridges, USB cables, cord organizers. I'm
going to show them in an upcoming video.
But yeah, those are there. And then I used these -- when I was labeling all of these
bins, I use this jumbo labels. The reason why I got a brand new label maker is because
I couldn't use these jumbo labels in my old one. And I just feel like they're so fun.
I feel like the first thing you see when you open this closet are these labels on the shoe
boxes. And so you instantly find exactly what you're looking for with these fun and big
labels. So, those just stay right there, and four of them fit perfectly side by side. So
that worked out well.
And then back here, I have my jumbo Post-It notes for putting on my whiteboard when I'm
teaching organizing concepts. And then I have my jumbo time timer for timing things in a
fun way. And then up here, I have my scrapbook boxes for like collecting scrapbook things.
OK. So then in this corner over here, I have another hanging sweater bag organizer for
all the extra notebooks and extra magazines that I want to keep that I was like taking
notes on and stuff. And then there are business cards and a hole puncher and then just like
extra gadgets that I don't use every day but I do use in my office periodically.
Then at the very top of the closet, I have my tax box organizer that has all my tax returns
organized by year. And then I put this pretty contact paper on the front of it to kind of
like, I don't know, just make it look pretty.
