I have total redecorated my office space it is wonderful. I can find my desk!
This is only the beginning..I am shredding years of papers and recycling everything. -
my desk looked like a huge pile o’ junk magically levitating on 4 wooden legs. the cleaning went GRRREAT!! then i took a step back and realized the sad state of my closet…and bookbag…and shelves…tsk tsk tsk. soon i’ll unleash this organizational rampage on the FRIDGE!! ...watch out…:D.

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.

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 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.

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

Thanks. I needed that.

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.

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.
