Getting the Office in Working Order

One office, two jobs and lots of hobbies have left little time for Debra Jackson to organize her home office.

The small, 11 x 11-foot space accommodates a makeshift desk assembled from plastic storage bins, a hat display for the hats she creates, piles of papers from her insurance business, and stacks of pictures from world travels.

This cluttered office features an inefficient desk made from stacked storage units with no drawers or filing cabinets, a disorganized closet and piles of papers on nearly every inch of the floor.
