Declutter: Wire Mesh Memo Board



While I'm not a sucker for mainstream cliches on the internet, I'll admit having a memo board using a wire mesh has been really useful. This best part was that it was pretty cheap and super easy to set up. Here's how I did it. But before I dive into the deets, here's a few reason why I found having a wire mesh memo board useful:

Why having a mesh/memo board is good:
  1. It removes loose paper that typically creates a mess on your desk 
  2. It still allows you to easily see pending items that requires your attention (my memo board doesn't have any of these items for now)
  3. It allows you to create texture on a plain wall to make it a little bit more aesthetically pleasing - I'm a sucker for aesthetically pleasing things
Things you'll need:
  1. Some wooden pegs ($1.00)
  2. A metal/wire garden mesh (I got mine from daisy for $2.00)
  3. Hooks ($1.20)

Instructions:
  1. Ensure you find an ideal place on your wall to put the memo board. Consider a few things: it should be placed at a convenient place, it should be mounted at a place that you refer to often - in my case, it's my desk.
  2. Place the hook to level and across the mesh 
  3. Place some wooden pegs around the mesh and start placing loose papers that were previously sitting around onto the mesh.

Easy peasy and cheap, takes about less than 5 minutes to get everything set up and makes your entire life easier.
