And Today on My Desk
What I came home with were 3 of the units to the left - which I love. First, because they went together in about 10 minutes. Second, because the drawers are very spacious. Third, because our closets have never been more organized. (Yes, that's a hot pink feather boa in the second drawer. It's bebe's. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)
You know what I realized today? Our closets are organized but my desk...is not. I don't think it ever will be and that's okay with me because I work well in a little bit of clutter. Take away my calendar, my stacks of paper or my geegaws (as my grandmother would say) and I can't focus.
Here are three random Things on My Desk today:* a pair of headphones without the foamy-protective layer. I should toss them, but I keep thinking I'll find the
foamy parts and they'll be fine. Of course, Angel-the-dog probably ate the foamy bits...
* bebe's backpack filled with school supplies. Which we're delivering to school later today. But still, it's taking up space so I'm sharing...
* a new selection of Sharpies because who doesn't need a Sharpie in every color of the rainbow? Pay no attention to the duplicate colors, they're needed in case the existing colors run out. No, I don't want them in a drawer, I want them where they are...they are my precious.
Okay, your turn: are you a super-organized writer? A messy-desker like me? Somewhere in the middle? How do you make your space work for you?
I'm definitely a messy-desker. It drives hubby crazy, but I've told him, it's my desk and I know where everything is! :)
ReplyDeletethat is my mantra, too, Amber! I actually *do* know where everything is (I'll bet you do, too) even if it looks like a tornado just came through.
DeleteI'm a total mess, Kristi. I clearly need to find an Ikea.
ReplyDeleteI always laughed when people said they went there. And the store will make your jaw drop because it's the size of a small city...but they have the *goods*!
DeleteWe've already seen mine--it's messy. But I do want me one of those feather boas. I think I'll have purple.
ReplyDeleteMardi Gras, Liz. *wink*
DeleteOrganized? What's that? LOL I want a green boa! Love markers!
ReplyDeleteI saw a green one...may have to get one of those, too. lol
DeleteI hate clutter, so once the paper mountain on my desk appears to be taking over, I have to do something. Just don't open my desk drawers. I'm with you on the Sharpies thing. You need different colors for each task (oops, did I just allude to my compulsive nature?)
ReplyDelete*nods* Totally get it, Gemma. I think I have some OCD tendencies, messy desk aside.
DeleteOk, I'm not even touching my closets (or Bebe's boa). My desk, when I choose to dig it out from under all hubby's work papers, has a favorite cup that got a fatal mysterious crack and now holds my precious sharpies and pens. There is also a feathered Piglet pen in it. I'm addicted to office supplies, namely sticky pads of various sizes, colors and shapes. I keep two or three note pads for writing things down and a calendar (which is on the wall above my desk. Oh, and a tiny rubber frog with a crown I got...somewhere (a 25 cent bubble maybe?)--don't ask. I usually have a four inch Captain Jack stuffed doll for inspiration and a stuffed unicorn Mr. Rhose gave me, but they're packed until I move into my new office.
ReplyDeletelol, Calisa...I have a sudden urge to track down a feathered Piglet pen of my own. Do you think they make a Piglet Sharpie?
