I have a tiny teenie desk where my laptop fits perfectly, luckily for me. However, I always want to keep everything I consider important close to me so I will remember (such as the lab exam authorization on my left that I haven’t touched in weeks).
The idea behind my mess is that I don’t want the out-of-sight, out-of-mind to happen to me, but it is not working. So, I’m decluttering my desk to keep it clean. This time, it will be easier, as I cleaned my desk last week.
I want to clean my desk (again), so I have set an appointment for the lab exam to remove the little important paper from my desk. I have also removed the stickers and other journaling tools I had scattered all over the place and put them in a still easy-to-reach spot. Even if it was easy to declutter my desk this time, it will be challenging to keep it clean.
As an extra, I should really sell those Game Cube games I have in my closet, as I’m not using them at all, and the chances of me using them are close to zero (that’s sad, I know).
What about you? What do you want to declutter? What advice would you share on keeping a neat desk? Share your thoughts below!
