A few week ago, I spent some much needed time and energy to organize my home office. We did a bit of re-arranging and it made all the difference. It’s such an odd shaped room that it’s been challenging taking a photo. But don’t worry, I will make that happen. In the mean time I thought I’d share some of my resources that I used in my planning process.

Ultimately, getting organized is a great way to inspire productivity. What better way to create a little inspiration than to give your home office a do-it-yourself makeover? Here are some tips on how to create your geek girl room of inspiration!
