Tip #15: Match Computer & Paper Files
(Part of the 31 Days of Home Office Organizing Tips)I have a chair in my office that I love to sit in. Take a look:
This chair is in the corner opposite from my desk (not outside in front of my hydrangeas, ha ha ha….). I like to go and sit in this chair when I need to step away from my desk, and get a little change of scenery. You can do the same with a comfy chair in your home office. Here’s some things you can use it for:
- Read a trade magazine
- Sort through your mail
- Read a book
- Make phone calls
- Do some brainstorming
- Write some handwritten notes (yes, some people still do that)
- … or just take a little break with a cup o’ joe or hot tea
What would you do in your “Thinking Chair”?

First of all, hello from the Oregon side of the river. =)
This is so funny. I have another chair in my office too. My husband, who works at home, will often come “visit” me and sit in it for awhile. (So I guess this is his “thinking chair” too!) Oh, and get this – it’s a massage chair!
The thing that is funny about this is I forget to use it. Really. I must subconsciously think I gotta keep doing something productive and therefore forget to take breaks. Taking breaks every so often is actually really important for me to do with my fibromyalgia. I need a timer or something…
But hey, thanks for the reminder. I’m going to go sit in my thinking massage chair for awhile!
Tamis last blog post..tamicat: groovin’ to my new favorite CD – Lenny Kravitz "It Is Time for a Love Revolution" Boy I’m glad I got this for @rocketzombie for Christmas!
Hello,
The comfy chair….I like to have a child come and chat with me while I do things at my desk. Or while my husband is using the computer, I like to sit and tell him stories about our day…..most of the time I think he probably doesn’t here what I’m saying…But HEY sometimes just voicing the craziness about the day is what you need to do.
thanks for letting me comment.
