Staying Organized in 2016 — designlifestyle

These are great items I live by to stay organized and these no-fuss office accessories make being organized look good. Like many of us, I can shop for desk accessories and stationary all day but keeping the important things tidy and easy to find again and again is a necessity as a Designer. So, I thought I'd share a few of my organization essentials that I know will also make your life a little more fun in the process. Find more of my organization methods here and the my downloadable guide to get you started.

The Ban.Do 18 Month Diary is probably my favorite of all. There's stickers for every important moment. Plus it's just cute and compact!

My Day Designer from Whitney English is a great planner with sections for lengthy notes and even a daily checklist for every hour of your day. Stay motivated with quotes and proverbs for each month.

These over-sized marble printed post-it notes by Russell+Hazel are irresistible and oh so sophisticated. Not to mention who can resist white marble?? lol.

What are some of your favorite desk accessories or tips to keeping an organized life for your busy schedule?
