Do you have a shared office and need help figuring out how to get it organized? Whether it be for your family, small business, or non-profit, there are ways to organize systems in a shared office so that they stay organized. In the video below, I show you how we set up our church office. If you need help organizing or just love organizing videos, be sure to click the subscribe button.
I set up these organized systems years ago and you may notice that these systems look pretty worn. It’s because they are! So, you know that these systems have been in good use and are working well. There are several people with several different responsibilities who use this office.
As promised in the video, here are links to all products used to set up this office (that are still available for purchase):
