11 Things You Need To Be Organized This Fall + Link-Up
It’s that time of year, again! We’re soaking up the last few weeks of summer (bummer!) and all of those ‘back-to-school’ commercials are beginning to appear on TV. Remember those days of shopping for the new school year? That was my absolute favorite! I have always loved shopping, so as a kid it was so much fun picking out a new wardrobe and new school supplies. As I was figuring out who I was, I could choose who I was going to be that year through fashion. It was a fresh start; a chance to hunker down and get organized! Who else is nostalgic about back-to-school?
Well, I’m no longer a student. I don’t have kids. Does that mean that I can’t enjoy back-to-school? Absolutely not! In fact, a lot of businesses put things on hold over the summer while people are vacationing and away from the office. For many companies, September is also a fresh start. It’s that time when adults need to resume acting like adults and get back to business as usual!
I say, let’s take advantage of the sales and use this time of year as an opportunity to get organized and improve ourselves. So as the world starts to spin again, I’m here to help you get organized with super cute must-have office supplies! Here are 11 Things You Need To Be Organized This Fall.

Ok, so we’re all into tech stuff these days. I’m no exception! I love having everything on my iPhone, even my calendar. But there’s something to be said for holding that fresh, new planner in your hands. These are especially useful if your schedule is inconsistent. When you have a ton of things to remember each day, it’s sometimes easier to see when it’s all on paper in front of you!
How chic is this? I never thought I’d call a clipboard chic, but wow! I find these super useful at work, particularly when I was working in sales. I had a clipboard hanging on my office wall so when I would receive an inquiry call, I could easily grab my clipboard and fill in my info sheet of what the client was requesting so I didn’t miss a beat! It’s also great for when you’re on the go!
If your table looks like mine, then it usually has some mail and keys on it. These are things that really just don’t have a home, so it’s easy to dump them on a table top somewhere. But it creates clutter.. and fast! Why not build a home for it? This wall decoration is the perfect place to store mail and keys while still appearing neat and organized!
Sometimes I just like to write things down! I often jot down notes in the ‘notes app’ on my iPhone but some things just belong on paper. I like keeping these around to write thoughts, ideas, or to-do lists. These Poppin notebooks are simple, yet bright and fun! I have one on my nightstand in my room and another on the end table in my living room. It’s an adorable accent and it serves a purpose!
This is the perfect example of where great design meets purpose. This desktop organizer is stylish, artistic, and a great way to get organized. Use it at work for pens, paper clips, and anything else you need handy. Or use it at home on your vanity to store q-tips, eye liners, lip glosses, etc!
How cute is this? Love it! Is it totally necessary? Definitely not. But it would be useful to glance up and see the day and date! During the chaos of a typical work day, it’s easy to forget what day it is. It’s too often that I need to hover my mouse over the little clock in the bottom right corner of my office desktop to check the date!
If you know me- even just as an acquaintance- then you know that I love coffee! I more than just love it. I’m a major espresso drinker so naturally, I’m pretty into tumblers. It definitely pays to get a nice one! The best kind are stainless steel. When I’m busy and distracted at work, my current stainless steel tumbler (a Starbucks one) keeps my coffee freshly hot for hours. Everyone needs one of these!
I love anything that’s glittery! This wall organizer is so pretty because it looks like silver glitter and it even has labels.
I’m totally obsessed with these! It’s incredible to be ‘green’ and friendly to our planet, plus I feel like I stay more hydrated when using a straw versus drinking from a water bottle. I guess it takes less effort and thought, if that makes sense!
This is such a cool product! I love Poppin’s line of office supplies. The colors are bright and fun, while the design is simple and chic. This grip grass is cool because you can put it in one of Poppin’s desktop organizers and you can literally stick anything in it! Pens, business cards, and random paper clips. When you acquire random stuff, stick it in the grass!
Is a bulletin board old-school? Possibly. But think of it as a Pinterest board! These are perfect to use as an inspiration board. Planning an event? Use one of these to stick random ideas on when they come to you throughout the day! It’s much easier to see everything right in front of you.
What are you doing to get organized this Fall? What are your must-have organization products?

As a teacher, I'm a sucker for school supplies/organization things! I want all of these! Thanks for linking-up for Blogging Besties!
I was actually that child who dreaded back to school. I never went back to school shopping. I used to avoid it and let my mom do it all by herself.
I love this organization list! My biggest must-have product is a planner to keep my life in order.
