In this episode, we take on the high-stakes world of office supply management, because nothing says “thriving professional” like frantically searching for a missing flange insert.

We discuss how to stockpile just enough essential supplies without drowning in a sea of unnecessary purchases. Plus where we store them in our small office spaces.

But it’s not just about space; it's also about the emotional rollercoaster of supply management. Annie confesses to the soothing yet regrettable power of retail therapy, which once resulted in an office overflowing with pumps but nowhere to put them. We acknowledge that while we may not have our dream workspace, we’re making do with what we do have and continuously refining our system.

 ”Good enough is really good enough.”

In this episode, we will cover:

• The issues with managing inventory (2:02)
• Storage solutions and limitations (9:27)
• Navigating space challenges (16:43)
• Creative solutions for supplies (21:47)
