Labels, Ultra Tabs® and markers are all you need to try out these brilliant life hacks. You can also use these ideas and products as a springboard for imagining your own desk organization ideas.
1.) Eye-catching Reminder Tabs
Keep tabs on important notes with repositionable Ultra Tabs (74753)
Is there something that keeps slipping your mind? For some people it’s an extension number or a shortcut key or an important date. Make sure to keep these details within your view with colorful, repositionable Ultra Tabs on the edge of your monitor. Ultra Tabs are great office organization supplies and are available in a variety of colors, finishes and sizes.
2.) Check File Folders at a Glance
Clearly list file folder contents with shipping labels (94215)
A brilliant file folder hack is to write down the contents of the folder on to a label on the front. Avery shipping labels with TrueBlock® material blocks out everything underneath the label so that you can easily place one over the other without having the previous list bleed through. Ultra fine tip Marks-A-Lot™ markers also work perfectly for clean and compact writing.

3.) Color Coding To-do Lists
Streamline your tasks with color coding labels (5795)
It’s easy for a plain, black and white to-do list to blend into the background of your desk.

4.) DIY Hanging File Folder Tabs
Create top-view tabs with binder clips and clear rectangle labels (94208)
Skip the work of scouring through hanging file folder tabs by creating your own top-view tab markers. Print onto clear labels and center them on the top of binder clips for improved tabs that are easier to view. Clear labels are also great for marking your supplies, addressing envelopes and creating your own DIY labels.
5.) Easy Cable Management
Always choose the right cable with the help of barbell labels (94749)
Every charging cable looks the same behind your desk and it’s easy to lose track of which one is which. Barbell labels are ideal for identifying cables since they are easy to wrap around, will stick in one place without sliding and allow you print out double-sided tags.
Bonus: Webcam Security
Add an extra layer of privacy with ¼” round labels (5795)
Concerned about your privacy? An extra use for round color coding labels is to block out your webcam so that it only works when you need it. They’re also easily removable to keep your screen clean or if you feel like changing up the color.
These labels and more can be ordered from Jacobs Gardner Office Products.
