Label and postage help
There are definite advantages to working out of a home office. I frequently work in my pajamas until noon or even later. I don’t have distracting co-workers to keep me from focusing. My dog can sleep at my feet while I work. No one but me ever sees my office, so it’s okay that things stay pretty messy most of the time. Well, no, that last one isn’t true. See my tagline up there on my header? Digging my way out of the clutter? It’s more like “getting more and more buried under the clutter.” I confess, it’s gotten to the point where the clutter interferes with my ability to get my work done. It’s time to clean up and organize my office.
Last week I finally got back into a routine of sending out solicitation letters to realtors who have been parties to inspection I’ve done, but have never ordered work from me themselves. It’s the only advertising I do. I had a stack of letters ready to go and couldn’t find the postage I needed to affix to them. See the file sorter over there at the left? It used to help me stay organized, but now it’s just more clutter. I found my stamps in a folder there this morning, a week after I needed them. Once I get things straightened up I need to get myself set up to use online stamps instead of keeping a supply of stamps that A.) I’m going to lose and B.) are never in exactly the denomination that I need. The Dymo Desktop Mailing Solution would fit well into my rotuine. It prints lables and postage, so it can help me organize my office and do my mailings. It even has a built-in postage scale so I can quit second-guessing how much postage I need to use (and putting excess stamps on everything “just in case.”)
A Dymo Label Printer can help me with much more than my mailing dilemma. It can handle all of the printing of labels for my file and storage cabinets and the shelves in the closet where I store my office supplies. It would be nice to be able to have a place for everything and to count on finding what I need without calling in the bloodhounds. After I get the work table and storage situation under control I’ll have to tackle my desk. The nicest thing I can say about it right now is that it fits in with the current decor, which I describe as Twenty-First Century Clutter. Do I need a Dymo? You be the judge!
