National Clean Your Desk Day

Monday, January 12th is National Clean Your Desk Day. As you can tell from the above picture, it's not a day that I recognize. I take a lot of grief from people at work, as I do have the messiest desk in the building, but I do know where everything is on the desk.

To be honest, I am a bit ashamed it's like this. Every so often I'll have a cave in, and things will go tumbling and I'll throw a lot of paper out, or if I can't find something. I also know if I just touch it once, and be done with it, I'll be better off. The problem is, that I seem to be multitasking all the time. I'm on the phone, writing a commercial, putting a proposal together, writing something for the website. It's just non-stop. I also know that if I took 5 minutes before I left for the day, and did a little organizing, I would be better off. But, I'm here 10 hours a day, and then in basketball season, I'm off to do games at night. When I'm ready to leave, I'm ready to leave, not spend 5 minutes cleaning.

So, I'll live with it for the time being. You enjoy National Clean Your Desk Day... I'll carry on.
