Paper Work
Wait! I reorganized files recently. And now I can’t find essential
documents. Perhaps I should have left
them scattered on the desk top, piled on the floor, and stacked on the printer.
At least then I knew where they were.
Gurus have written articles that tell me creative people are
messy. That bit of news made me feel better about my chaos. After all, I’m a
creative gal, but is that an excuse for clutter? Probably not. Could be that I’m just plain down right lazy. Would I work
better with a clean and organized surface? I know I tried it once. Wonder how long ago that was? Can't remember.
Now that Sarah: Laney’s Angel is finished, I’ve started a third
book about Sarah, and she’s so much more fun that organizing papers on my desk. However, if I don’t clean up soon, no one
will be able to find Sarah and me behind these stacks at the computer.
How do all you busy people handle the stuff waiting for a home? Jacqueline Hopper, has an article
on her blog that gives 10 tips for keeping a desk clean and
tidy.
Excuse me...I'm a little confused. Is the top of my desk supposed to be visible??? Oh, dear, have I ever got work to do!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you have the same problem. Makes me feel good to know I'm not alone.
DeleteSomeone once told me a clean desk is the sign of a cluttered mind. I don't know if it's true, but it made me feel a lot better about the appearance of my office!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear others have a messy desk besides me.
DeleteGay - I need to have my husband read your blog. He has papers everywhere. I offered to get him a stackable bin at Costco - just for his papers! If you haven't guessed it - I'm the neat nick here.
ReplyDeleteWow! And you are a creative person and a notable author!
ReplyDeleteHum.... A tidy desk, what a concept! I wish. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou and me Mary...maybe Victoria Pitts-Caine could give a seminar on how to stay organized. When the Lord handed out that gift, I must have been asleep.
