One of my favorite organizing projects is a
cluttered desk space. And let me tell you, working on a desk surrounded
by the sweet smells of delicious cakes was a dream come true.

In this busy New York City bakery, the head chef shares a
desk with her assistant, and it just wasn’t working. Communication
was breaking down.

The first step was to “clear the decks” to make some sense
of the paper flow in and out of the office. As a second step, we found a
home for those papers, based on priority, and identified solutions to get them
organized. Finally, we created customized systems to help track active projects
(i.e. cakes) and potential leads.

All in all, a much more efficient space!
