The walls have been painted, I moved my desk in and even my DSL connection is working.  In theory, I am ready to rock with an office and a space all my own.  But I still have boxes of files that should be sorted and books that need a home.  Grrr… so close, but yet, so far away.

I bought a bookcase from Ikea and some shelves, so I am determined to get those assembled this weekend. But I have been thinking that I need something more than a drawer to put things away, I need a system to visually plan my time and work.    And no plain bulletin board and cup holder will do; so I have been on a hunt for the ultimate, modern office organization tool.  I need something that can handle all my tech gadgets and look good.  Not a simple task.

I think I need a white board or chalk board for quick notes. I need a place to charge my phone, camera and other electronics and keep keys and miscellaneous files handy.  I also need see to be able to see a calendar that could handle multiple projects.  This is a photo of a great wall organization system from Pottery Barn.  Looks great and is customizable, but a little steep in price at about $500 for the parts I want. Hmmm, I need the discount version of this.

Anyone have any tips or brilliant ideas?
