There's nothing you can't find in the way of items to organize your business office or home office at OfficeMax or OfficeMax.com. They have things you've never even thought of, but must have once you've seen them! Be sure to get a copy of their catalog since they can't stock everything in the stores. I always go to Office Max first for my own office needs, and for my clients, too.

If you are tired of trying to keep your household and home-based business records organized and up-to-date, I recommend a system called FreedomFiler. This system uses an entirely different approach from the way most people file. It also has an automatic purging feature that will forever eliminate the chore of cleaning out and reorganizing files! The system is easy to set up and maintain. I have used this for many clients and it has truly changed their attitude toward filing!

Put your passwords on speed dial with RoboForm Pro. Log into your password-protected websites automatically with this inexpensive software that memorizes your passwords so you don't have to! It also fills in web forms with one click -- fast, convenient, and eliminates mistakes. Application resides on your own computer to ensure security. My clients love this and I use it every day!

Whether you prefer electronic or paper systems, the key to effective time management is to keep all your appointments, to-do lists and miscellaneous information in ONE place -- and to have it with you ALL the time. Personally, I prefer the portability and all-in-one convenience of a smart phone like Centro or BlackBerry. However, if you prefer a paper system, the FranklinCovey System is the best I've seen for keeping track of both your big-picture priorities and the day-to-day details. I have clients who swear by this system.

Display AND STORE your photos or other printed images in high-quality cabinet-frames from Dynamic Frames that are appropriate for any office. Even your child's artwork will look professional! My own friends and family have these, as well as my clients. Visit their website for complete information on sizes, styles and finishes. These unique frames are NOT available in stores! When you order, please enter "Space Craft" in the comments section of the order form.

Collectorz.com: These intuitive, inexpensive and easy-to-use database programs create catalogues of your personal collection of books, reference manuals, audiovisual media or digital photo files. I've personally used the book application for my organizing and time management reference library.
