      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.

      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.

                                      That would seriously suck. I need some messy in order to clear my mind.

                                      To err is human to really mess up you need a computer

                                        I think mine is a mess. Here are the items on it: 1. Laptop 2. Second monitor 3. Spare CPU, keyboard and mouse 4. VOIP phone 5. My mobile phone 6. USB cable and earphones for my phone 7. Water bottle 8. Coffee mug 9. Lunch box 10. Greek yoghurt (yummy) 11. My laptop bag 12. Helmet and jacket Is it similar for you? how do you prefer your desk to be like?
