Amazing what a little de-cluttering will do to your mood!

I work as a college instructor so stacks of books and papers are my life. I couldn’t clean off my desk but I organized my books and made neat piles of categorized papers. Then I took a deep breath. Nice.

OK, my large bedroom is also my computing and reading room. Its become a mess. I’m going to transform it in 24 hours. Here goes!

I work from home and often I do find myself stressed about my workspace. Hopefully this will help!

‘Spent two long hours on an excavation into my main desk drawer (it was baaaaad). ‘Recycled/relocated 80% of contents, then put the remaining 20% in little shallow cardboard boxes to organize. Whew … what a relief!

I reorganized my messy desk into a productive art space. Now all mt drwing accessaries are out in the open and my desk is very pleasent to look at.

I reorganized my room,and had a yard sale!Well,I’m finally organized and made a couple of bucks!!

it was really nice organizing out my room, and i felt way more clean and un cluttered. i cleaned out my closets and my desk area as well and i now have a nice environment to work in.

i’m a new music teacher coming into a very un-organized area with music, books, instruments, recordings, you name it, everywhere. i don’t have a class till this afternoon so i’m hoping for some big transformations in here today…

I am one of those neat freaks anyway but just changing positions of items on the desk made a huge impact for me. It’s important to be surrounded by things that make you happy and sometimes to remind you of why you work so hard.

i work in a cramped cubicle and it really does make an amazing difference

I’m a lean enterprise engineer so my work area is already well organized/decluttered, but adding a small water feature and putting on classical music after a hectic meeting schedule is a great pick-me-up!

I have a very stressful job somedays working as a material handler in a factory. It is nice to be able to just stop and let the natural flow of things go, instead of pushing it too hard.

I work in a busy labor/delivery unit so this is impossible! So many times it is assumed that the world works in a cubicle.

Thanks. I needed that.

good i ‘m done with the garage sale what a difference in the garage now no more junk

I am looking for soothing music that I can play quietly in my office to help create a good work environment and help destress me in a high stress job

Any ideas.

This years challenge is to lose 50 pounds the healthy way. Adding treadmill minumin of 4 days per week and weight lifting minumin 4 days per week.

It’s really nice to get rid of things that I don’t need.

Worked on clearing out piled up mail from being out of town for 2 weeks.

Sue,

Music is such a personal thing. Although I’d love to make some recommendations, it’s really difficult to suggest something without knowing you—especially because what may be soothing for one person (like the sound of the ocean or a CD by Kenny G) can actually be quite distressing for someone else.

I HAVE A PLAN TO RE-ORGANIZE MY COMPUTER WORKSPACE AT HOME. MAYBE SOME PAINT WILL LIVEN UP

THE AREA…

This is the best Idea! I recently rearranged a special space that is designated only for my soothing office room. Can’t go wrong putting yourself first for once!

Clear your mind and enjoy the intimacy between yourself and the silence.

I’m starting yoga on Monday.

I work in a small pool store. It is important for me to at least have the store look presentable. On a weekly basis, I like to clean the front counter, the glass door, and the other parts of the store that customers are most often. It doesn’t take long to do a quick dusting. Sometimes there are items out of place or papers placed everywhere. It makes me feel better when the shelves are orderly and people don’t have to look at a big pile of mess.

I’ve just created a space in my closet all for myself called my “Zen Space”.

suzcomptime- my favorite relaxing cd is ABoneCroneDrone by Sheila Chandra. It is hard to find but I LOVE IT. It never fails to chill me out. Never.
I also, at work, often listen to anything by Nick Drake. That man almost invented mellow. But not too mellow so as to put me to sleep. Just a nice mellow mood. Perfect work music for me.

Today I will remove all the junk that is cluttering up my desk and making me feel chaotic. I will have a clean, fresh, inspiring but not distracting space.

I really committed to this! I went out last night and got a little plant to put in my desk (in the back left corner, which seemingly is the appropriate feng shui place for it, and I wanted it there anyway… coincidence?) and found a small bamboo box (to bring more natural materials into this synthetic space) that held tea, but I emptied that out to drink later and it is the perfect size for my CDs that were just sitting on my desk looking ugly and unorganized. Now I have the bright green, the warm wood, and a little set of windchimes that tingle when I open and close my doors. It is a MUCH more serene space. I am SO pleased.

My desk is a complete mess!!!!!! I constantly find myself buried.
