DIY Rolling Desk In 5 Minutes

March 23, 2020 · In: DIY Projects, Lifestyle

Unexpectedly working from home but don’t have a home office? Instead of taking over your dining room or coffee table, grab a three-tiered cart that you already own to create a temporary workspace with a DIY rolling desk in five minutes or less.

You can roll it to the sofa, dining table, or even your bed, and you can roll it back to a corner when not in use.  It’s also great for kids to use for homework! I hopped on IGTV to show you how I’m currently working at home with this setup.

Recap

  1. Snacks and calendars
  2. Binders and notebooks
  3. Office supplies and chargers
  4. Cutting board on top

For another fun project with supplies you already own, turn disinfectant wipe containers into craft storage. Let us know what you’re doing to make such an uncertain time more Organized*ish too!

    I love the rolling table, and the wipe containers. Both ideas would be great to use in my classroom.

      Absolutely! The rolling cart is great for when a teacher needs to change seating arrangements, and the wipe containers could even be a class project where your students choose the look of them. I’m glad we could help.

      You’re so welcome. I think we all need one of these! Quick, easy, and functional is never a bad combination.

          Hi, Jennifer! We didn’t attach it. It’s to be used as a temporary top, so you place the cutting board right on top after positioning the cart. If you want something permanent, Michaels sells carts and a topper that fits perfectly into place.

He met this four year old little dude who was sick on the couch clutching his Lightening McQueen car. Soon after, Noah told me in the car “Mommy let’s stay friends with him, ok?”
So we did. And here we are ten years later. Nothing makes my heart more full than seeing these two together.
…Except when they gang up on me for asking [dumb] questions about superheroes… 😅
Happy Father’s Day Nigel!
Let’s talk about organizing overwhelm. Yep, we a Let’s talk about organizing overwhelm. Yep, we are going there…
As exciting and freeing and calming it is to get a space cleaned up and organized, it’s also stressful and overwhelming and exhausting. Especially when you’re doing big projects.
After three weeks straight of working on my garage, I was reaching the point of burnout. I got behind on other things, I constantly felt like I wasn’t doing enough, and my to-do list kept getting longer.
If you’re feeling this way today, I want you to give yourself permission to do these two things:
1. Take a break. It is ok to pause a project and take some chill time. Log off of social media, stop looking at your list, and just recharge.
2. Remove things from your list. You might have planned a huge project, but after a while you start losing enthusiasm. At that point, let some plans go. Save them for later in the year, or maybe even never. Projects should be flexible, not set in stone.
What’s something on your to-do list you can let go of today to save you time and stress?
