If you’re in the mood to organize but don’t want to leave your house to purchase the supplies you need, try shopping online for organizational products. This week’s column will give you an overview of some of the more helpful sites I’ve found for finding these products.
Get Organized!
http://www.getorginc.com/
This company sells organizing products both by mail-order catalog and on the Internet. The catalog contains more products, but there are some home office items listed on the Web.
Office Supply Stores
Organize Everything
http://www.organize-everything.com/
This company sells a wide variety of organizing products, as its name implies.
Organized-Living.com’s Software Product Shop
http://www.organized-living.com/prodshop2.html
Organized-Living.com contains many helpful pages with links to organizational products and Web sites. You can sign up for a bi-monthly newsletter or read helpful articles about various aspects of organizing. The link above is to the Software Product Shop, which lists numerous software programs that will help you organize just about every aspect of your life.
Professional Organizers’ Web Ring
http://www.organizerswebring.com/Products/Default.asp
This site offers a number of options for those looking for organizational help, including Organizing Products at the link above, articles by professional organizers, and a member directory in case you need to hire someone to help you with your clutter.
Stacks & Stacks
http://www.stacksandstacks.com/
This company also sells a number of container-type products to help you organize anything.
Shop Bots
Instead of hunting for office supplies at various sites, you can also use a shopping “bot” or robot to help you find the products you need. My favorite is MySimon, Inc. You select a category for your product (such as paper), and then choose the type, the brand (if you’re looking for a specific brand), and a keyword. I found a good source for Hammermill laser print paper this way, and I was able to get a supply for much less than I could at any of my local stores.
Other examples of shop bots include:
With the availability and safety of online shopping, there’s no reason not to order products you need from the comfort of your own home. Now, shop ‘til you drop!
