Yep, that's been my day. I realized things were getting messy and it was taking too much time to find things. So now my files are back in order and I've set up a handy-dandy tickler file to keep track of things. It's really one of the best inventions. Here's a great link that shows you how to set it up and use it Tickler File. Trust me, you won't regret it.
Staying organized is one of the most important parts of working from home, I think. When you work where you live, if your work is cluttered you just can't get away from it. Fall is a great time to purge a bunch of stuff, throw things away, or get some file boxes to put away stuff you need but don't refer to on a regular basis like old tax files.

I agree with you that an organized office equals more productivity. I have allowed my work space to become messy on more than one occasion and it just makes me feel unmotivated and more likely to procrastinate or become flustered.
Clutter can make everyday tasks more difficult than they have to be, especially if it's your work space! I feel like getting organized and staying organized is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
