How to Clear Home Office Space

Video Transcript

"Hi! My name is Pete D'Alessandro. I'm here with Expert Village. In organizing this office, what we're going to do is now we've made a plan. We're going to clear this entire space. We're going to get rid of everything here. I know you're thinking let's just reorganize what's there and leave it kind of as is. It'll be little less work. You'll never really get the full scope of reorganization. You'll never get the efficiency out of it, unless you start from scratch. We're going to have to think everything out of here, whether it's in place, out of place. It doesn't matter. We're going to get it out of the area all together and start fresh. What this is going to allow us to do is just see how much more room we have to work with. Psychologically, what's going to happen once you have all this clear is you're going to notice. I don't really want to put all this stuff back in. You're going to realize what stuff you need and what stuff you don't, and what stuff you're just hanging onto. What we're doing is knocking all of this out. What you can see, even with one shelf cleared, how much more we have to work with. What are we really missing from here? Some books, some disorganized books. If we can get in here like this, and now we can psychologically see how much do I really want to go back into this space. We don't want everything. We want something organized. We're going to realize we need to start from scratch. That just shows us how much room we have to grow, how much there really can hold in the room."
