Sue, good luck in your attempt to clean off your desk. I hope you can stay focused.

Thanks! I need to get off here, do my 'regular' morning things at get at it.

focus, focus, focus

I'll keep my desk as is. An organized mess.

This is the worst my desk has ever looked, but I know where everything is!

Right now I need a sign for my desk that says says....

This mess is a desk!>

Hope you have a productive day!

I cleaned off my desk after that thread. Now I can't find anything.

I am laughing soooo hard!

My technician and his partner laugh about my desks (4-table unit). His partner marvels that I just reach for everything they need when they ask for it. Except for all the papers piled on top of the scanner, my desks aren't so bad right now. And I don't know where anything is. My cousin needed a video card manual the other day. He managed just fine without it.

Sue,
That is one thing good that has come out of having our house FOR SALE for over 2 1/2 years.

My house has always been (before the market) a clutter of unfinished projects. Since I have had to keep things pretty much presentable at all times, we have developed some real good habits. I almost never have a messy house any more! Sorry, I know some of you would rather not hear that. We have also de-cluttered a few times, so things that aren't used we got rid of!

It gives me a real free feeling, like there isn't something looming over me that I should be doing. It was VERY hard at first, but it has become a way of life.

OK, I'm stepping down off that "polished" pedistal... (onto my nice clean floor, without tripping over anything.) LOL

You can do it! I did!

Stick a fork in me. I'm done!> >

Toooo funny!
Now what are you going to clean?
Or will you post weekly on how clean your desk is? We'd like to know you know!
I vote for weekly updates on Chemocurl's desk!

So when do we get to see it???

Yah, where's a picture of where you set?

I can do that...weekly updates.

As some of you know, I live alone and have been for 35 years. That can make for one developing some very bad habits. Over the years, I have become a clutterbug, and in recent years have been battling that bad habit. I can blame the clutter here on no one but myself. After the major job of getting something decluttered and clean to my liking, the next challenge is 'keeping it that way...that the clutter in that newly cleaned area does not start all over.
Keeping something clean is a lot harder than the initial cleaning, as it requires diligence and tenacity.

Now what are you going to clean?

Not going to tackle anything new for a week or so. Tonight I am leaving, and tomorrow early AM GF and I are heading off on our annual January Daytona Beach vacation. YAY!
When I return, I will likely tackle the back entry/hall/laundry room area. YIKES! It is a real fright, or I may start to paint the living/dining rooms as they have been on my winter chore list for years now.

So when do we get to see it???

Yah, where's a picture of where you set?

Hmmm...I took both b4 and after pics. When I went to put them in the computer I found I had to reinstall the Kodak software again (since the computer was emptied and cleaned a while back). I got it downloaded, and the few desk pics in my computer (it said it was anyway) but now I cannot see/find them. I looked in my Pics, my docs, Kodak folder, and ever searched...never did find them. The camera is new, and I've never transferred pics to the computer b4, so that is something to be figured out sometime later...just not right now...but I promise to finally get them posted.

Sue

Well Sue, have a fun time with your GF in Daytona Beach. You cleaned you desk so good that the pictures got cleaned off too. That is really a deep cleaning job.
