Books
If you have the time, check for books on organizing at your local library. Most libraries nowadays also have interlibrary loans available, so you can usually get just about any book you want if you are willing to sometimes wait a wee while.
Or check your local bookstore or any of the online bookstores if you'd rather get a copy of your own. Unless I can get it for cheap, I try the library route first, and if I find a book I really like, then I get a copy for my own library.
Here are some organizing books I would recommend:
• Getting Things Done - by David Allen
• Organizing from the Inside Out - by Julie Morgenstern
• One Minute Organizer - by Donna Smallin
Storage
You can use all kinds of things for storage. It doesn't hurt to think outside the box now and again either.
Think about using things you like. For example, I happen to enjoy crystal and glassware, so here's my desk organizer. I've found assorted glassware pieces at thrift stores or garage sales. They work great for post-it pads, pens and pencils, scissors and paintbrushes, and whatever other odds and sorts fit into them.
