Shopping Online
for Organizing Products
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 organizing
products. This weeks’ column will give you an overview
of some of the more helpful sites I’ve found for finding
these products.
Get
Organized!. 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. This company sells a wide variety of
organizing products, as its name implies.
Organized-Living.com’s
Software Product Shop. Organized-Living.com contains
many helpful pages with links to organizing 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. This site offers a number of
options for those looking for organizing help, including
Organizing Products at the link above, articles by
professional organizers, and a member directory in case
you need to hire a someone to help you with your clutter.
Stacks
& Stacks. This company also sells a number of
container-type products to help you organize anything.
Instead of hunting for office
supplies at various sites, you can 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, choose the type, the brand if you’re looking for
a specific brand, and then a key word. I found a good
source for Hammermill Laserprint paper this way, and 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!
