I love organizing and getting things into their places, sometimes it’s hard when you live in small space, but there are a lot of ways you can be organized when you’re limited to a small area. Here are some tips I have used in my little room.
Utensils:
You can use a pencil box or a pencil can. But, be sure that whatever you are using will prevent your utensils from rolling away. You can color coordinate and pre-sharpen all of your pencils and color pencils for an added ease. You can also purchase pens in multiple different color inks and fun designs.
Notepads and sticky notes:
You can purchase different notepads for different subjects and color coordinate your utensils to match each pad. Keep them in bins or folder organizers. Sticky notes are also a good way to jot down reminders, just make sure you don’t lose them.
Paperclips:
Paperclips are a great tool to use to save your place in a book. Or to keep your sticky notes together. 
Ribbons:
Ribbons are another great way to store your pens if the pens have that little clip attached to it. Find a cute ribbon. Cut to the needed length and tack each end to a cork board, then hang your pens across it.
Necessities for Your Schoolwork:
It might be staplers, a hole puncher, tape dispenser or a pencil sharpener. If there is no room on your desktop for these things, you can place them in a drawer until you need them or you can purchase a small shelf specifically for that purpose.
Folders:
If your desk is on the small side, like mine, and there is no room for big bulky folders, you can place the folders on a separate shelf or in a drawer.
Other organizational tips:
If you are the kind of person who likes lots of space in your work area, you can put everything in bins, drawers, or another separate shelf.
You can also decorate your desk to suit your personality. You can tack up inspirational quotes, pictures of your friends, or some random doodles.
