Floriane's tips, founder of Maison Paon
1 – Choose the right tools
For Floriane, this is the first step to being perfectly organized. You need to learn to choose the right tools, those that will be essential for your organization. Obviously, they are unique to each person and depend on your needs.
But, among Floriane's essentials, we find:
- The planner: a paper planner is the joy of always having an overview of your schedule with you. It is essential for noting each of your appointments, daily tasks, or deadlines to meet. She couldn't do without it.
- The notebook: or should we say "the notebooks". Because Floriane has several notebooks available for specific uses. One for meeting notes, another for jotting down all her ideas. She even has one that she uses to track the opening of the new store in Angers. And other more personal ones on which she writes all her thoughts.
- The planner: placed on the desk, it allows you to categorize each task and, above all, to forget nothing. It is on this beautiful paper that Floriane prepares her to-do lists every day. The planner allows her to know what she has to do, from Monday to Sunday, in order of priority. Without it, she couldn't organize herself properly.

2 – Use a filing system
We told you, Floriane is the queen of organization. Stationery isn't just pretty notebooks and girlboss planners! It's also the details that make all the difference like labels, binders, sticky notes... which allow you to easily classify and retrieve notes and documents.
Here are Floriane's essentials for perfect filing:
- Binders: (with a little extra if they have flowers!) for sorting and organizing papers by subject or project. But also by urgency or priority. The added bonus of binders is that they are easy to store and keep.
- Labels: Floriane labels folders, binders, files, boxes... by color code / patterns to never get confused.
- Desk organizers: these boxes that you put on your desk to store, sort, and classify.

3 – Plan your days
Stationery is perfect for planning your time, your days or even your weeks in a tangible way. Every day, take the time to organize each task, each moment. To give yourself a framework and work serenely.
The tool Floriane can never do without:
- The to-do list: a pretty to-do list is always more pleasant for working well. But, the essential thing according to Floriane, is above all to plan a list of tasks for the day. A list achievable within the allotted time and tasks classified by order of priority.

4 – Don't neglect pens
Beautiful stationery is good, but it is essential to have the right tools to write on it. Whether it's for taking notes, organizing, or planning: pens and pencils play a major role in Floriane's organization.
- Pens: a tool that may seem insignificant, but a detail that is very important according to Floriane. Quality pens and, above all, pens of different colors. To categorize her notes, her to-do list, or to make essential information more quickly accessible.

5 – Take breaks, breathe, and reflect
Stationery is not just a tool for planning and organizing. It can also aid reflection and creativity. So, take your time. According to Floriane, it is essential to take time to step back, reflect, breathe, and give free rein to her emotions and creativity.
What she prefers when she has a moment:
- Journaling: and simply taking a few moments each day to write down your thoughts, ideas, or simply to take stock of the day. As Floriane so aptly puts it, it's truly THE moment that helps reduce stress and clarify the progress of your goals. Ultimately, it's about clearing your mind to put your thoughts on paper.
- Coloring: stationery isn't just planners, diaries, or pretty notebooks. No, it's also immersing yourself in the beauty of a beautiful coloring book. It's taking the time to relax, to think of nothing else. It's stimulating your creativity and seeing life from a different perspective.

According to Floriane, organizing well with stationery means: taking the time. Taking the time to choose the right tools, those that help us and make us feel good. It means taking the time to find the organization that suits us, to achieve our goal. It also means taking the time to breathe, to create, to write, and to relax.
Stationery is a valuable tool, and Floriane has understood that perfectly!
