Office Supplies that Keep Me Organized, Creative and Sane!

I’ve partnered with Office Depot to share how I use office supplies to make life easier as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. #GearLove

I’m back today talking about my on-going love affair with office supplies {giggle}.  You know that I do use these office supplies to make life easier, right?  I promise it’s not just hoarding or collecting them.  In all reality, office supplies keep me organized, creative and sane!  I thought it would be fun to show you the gear that I can’t imagine not having on-hand each and every day!

Every single day starts with a little
some-something that keeps me sane.
Wait for it…  COFFEE!

I cannot imagine life without coffee.
Does that sound a little dramatic?
Hmmm… it’s not.  I need coffee — for real!

And, did you know you can pick this up at Office Depot??
Yessiree.  While picking up my office supplies recently,
I was able to pick up some k-cups too.  Love it!

Once the coffee has kicked in, it’s time to get to work!  While I couldn’t do my job without a computer and camera, there is something else that keeps me on track day in and day out.  It’s a calendar!

I also call it my editorial calendar (for this little ole blog of mine).  It’s my one-stop shop!  I keep track of sponsored posts, projects, payments and more.

I’m a HUGE fan of the paper and pen, as many times as I have tried to switch over to electronic devices, it’s always been a big fat fail.  So, I’m sticking with what works for me and has worked for me for YEARS (even in college).  With that being said, stick with what works for YOU!  Paper and pen is what this girl is sticking with {wink}.

I like to keep a pencil pouch close by that contains:  pens, a pencil and eraser, markers (particularly red and green), white out, highlighters, small ruler and more!  My absolute favorite pen of all time is the Pilot® Dr. Grip, I have three and love this pen so much I’ve basically given up my ‘blue ink’ rule.  I bet you’re starting to think I’m a little cray-cray, huh?  

Tell me, how does one live without post-its?  That I will never understand.  I have them in all shapes and sizes and scattered throughout my home; however, the little ones steal the show time and time again.  They are the perfect size for my calendar, so I can make temporary reminders and notes of when I need to remember to track something or follow-up with someone.

Last but not least — COLOR!  Color is also something that I couldn’t live without.  In my must-have office supplies you can see that I love things that are functional and colorful.  Color is vibrant, can brighten someones day and keep us creative!  Yahooo.  Bring on the color, friends.
