Cluttered work desk
-
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.

Work with an engineer who looked at my desk and said "a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind" I looked at his barren desk and asked "so an empty desk is a sign of what?"
