As I look at my desk I can see it’s organised (sort of), I know where everything is (kind of) and there is some logic to it (well, it makes sense to me anyway!). The thing about it is – it could be better.

For example, I could finish off those last little things, file them away and free myself of the weight of a desk that stops me being inspired for a productive and creative day.

This week I was privileged to be in the most organised office I’ve ever seen! Systems were in place and routines were well documented. Filing was colour coordinated, as in each year was a different colour – all I could think was “how easy would archiving be!”  Each desk was clean with only a computer and a clear stand with tabbed cards clearly showing what went where and the order in which it would be processed tomorrow.

The result of this efficiency was obvious – a clear knowledge of the status of – well,  everything really – all jobs, suppliers, customers and any other information anyone would need to know. The past, the present and the future were all taken care of.   A sense of certainty reigned.

As I look at my desk I have to admit I don’t have that sense of certainty. I’m not certain what may have been overlooked and I can’t easily see my successes amongst it all. I like order and beauty. I like certainty and I really like that feeling of coming to a clean space to create.

It’s time to gift myself a clean desk again, recognise what I’ve achieved and where I’m at and to start my tomorrow with an uncluttered view and a fresh clean space to begin my next creation.
