Whether you work in an outside office or have a small office area at home, you're bound to need office supplies such as paper clips, labels, file folders and other similar items.

Create a list of common office supplies you use. Make copies of this list and file the copies away. Keep one easily accessible by tacking it to your office bulletin board.

As you are running out of supplies, just check them off on your list. When the list starts to grow, order all of your office supplies at once from a catalog or the Internet, or stop at your local office supplies store.

Bring your list with you when you go, so you don't forget anything.

A good rule of thumb is to mark it on your list when you only have 25% of that particular supply left.
