Hello, bloggers.  Feels good to be back in the blogosphere.  For the past few months, I’ve been preoccupied with life hacking.  That is to say, I’ve been getting organized in various ways.

When you’re going to wage an organizational war, you’re going to need some arsenal.  And the simpler, the better.  No need for fancy gadgets.  Go to your local office supply store and pick up some of these unexceptional yet invaluable items for the work and home:

Essentials

• pen
• post-it notes
• binder clips (Makes paper clips obsolete.)
• scotch tape
• rubber bands
• ziplock bags
• envelopes (6.75″ & 10″)

Honorable Mentions

• double-sided tape
• push pins
• stapler

What you do with them is not clearly defined, but that is why they work so well.  They can be used for any number of organizational needs. Keep an open eye and an open mind, and you’ll start using these items for everything.
