Cluttered work desk

A clean, tidy desk is a sign of a sick mind!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill
Well, either that or an empty mind.

At home it is a total mess - very comfortable... However, at work it is ISO dictated 'clean table'...
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Phone, calulator, tablet, keyboard, mouse, graphics tablet, two monitors, glass full of pens, PC, mobile phone, headphones, stapler, reading glasses, walk-about glasses, tape measure, ear buds, scrap paper for notes, two invoices to put on system, clamp current meter, cat. Cat hair, cat paw prints, more cat hair.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
You'll find a year's worth of printed papers for the look of busyness, but in reality I don't print much because I'm a closet environmentalist. By the end of the day there will be 3 empty cans of diet coke, perfectly spaced and in the same position from the previous day. A computer bag and a not so smart cell phone. And most importantly, two monitors perfectly positioned, so no one can get behind me and see what is on my screen, with the desktop positioned to hide my personnel computer, in case I need it in an emergency. There are no pictures or any other nonsense; everything has a purpose. It is close to meeting the 5S's of Lean Six Sigma.

I'm a firm believer in the clean-desk policy! Which is why I keep my desk covered with papers and junk -- no dirt can even get close to it.

Hey @chris-maunder this is strange. I replied to only one post (the other one), but it's appeared as responses to two different posts! The second one is not meow post, and I smell some catspiracy. :)

I've used a similar explanation to those uninitiated to being busy doing things (vs. undoing things by neatening up). My desktop layers, however, are organized something more akin to:* Tirassic
- Jurrasic
- Cretacious
- etc.
What's most interesting - they're not even chronologically stratified.

Empty Desk - Empty Mind. But that's well known. If one has time to clean the desktop every day then you've truly not enough to do. Or one just sits there and smiles behind the shiny wood. For us real workers? If I put IT down and IT is there when I look for IT again, then IT had been functionally been properly put away.
