It all starts with a clean desk

While not the best example of a clean desk, here is a picture of me working at a clean surface. Ahh, those were the days. Today, my desk holds my computer screen, three wooden Ikea desk organizers filled with crucial items, and the clutter that accumulates during a week of inattention.

My goal is to clean my desk once a week, and when I do, life seems much more ordered. As I work from home, I am able to be more focused and decidedly more productive with a clean desk. There's nothing like a clean work surface to motivate you when you need inspiration.
