I have a large desk in my office and it's rarely as orderly and uncluttered as it should be.  I've tried working off a small note pad, using electronic devices (I have an iPhone and iPad), asking for my administrative assistant's assistance, color coding things, and prioritizing information by stacks and where they are on the desk. Not much success. Going paperless?  Not reality.

At least I don't do what a friend and college professor does.  He lets the paper work stack up on his desk, moves the stack to the floor, and if nothing critical emerges from the stack – it goes in the trash.  I think he has the “anything that's important probably isn't urgent and anything that's urgent probably isn't important” mantra down to a science!

I've heard it said that “a clean desk is the sign of sick mind.”

If that's true, then I'm in good shape in the gray matter department

Blessings!
