Cleaning up my desk is a big task to tackle in one day. You might need to still work while you’re cleaning it. You don’t want to lose anything either. An important paper or item you may need later. I lose my pencil sharpener every time.
I lost my remote to my stereo, which took a week to find it again. So no music for my stereo, because I needed the remote. So be careful what you move and know where it is.
But my desk is not covered in papers, but more or or less electronic devices. My ipads and cell phone. Notepad/scratch pad and all kinds of pens.
What is on my desk?
- notepads
- pencils/pens
- stapler
- markers
- notebooks
- references I need
- scratch pads
- mouse pad for computer mouse
- keyboard
- charger for phone
- chips
- lotion
- computer speakers
- puzzle books
- candies
- whiteboard markers
No matter what is on the desk, it does need to be cleaned. Your desk needs to be functional and you need to be able to find things on it also. No matter what your looking for, it has to be easy to find.
My Solution
Well guess what I did, I just added a kitchen table on the side of my desk.
I made a spot for there items:
Markers- one a shelf in a case
Stapler- I put back in a drawer labeled stapler
Notebook and notepad- on my side table-my kitchen table
Puzzle books-bookshelf on the side of the room
Lotion-I use and bring back to the bathroom
Whiteboard markers- on my whiteboard hanging on the back
My Desk!
Right now!!! Is a big mess. Hard to find a charger, a pencil sharpener. You can’t even find a blue pen. All other colors you can find, but not blue. Or even a highlighter is a struggle to find. So I only left what I use, one color of each pen, and a Sharpie pen I love, and all my highlighters I love to use. My go to pens and pencils are on my desk now. I have a couple clipboards I love to use for my notes.
So I have to start cleaning up my desk!!!
So as you know, can I work?? Almost is not very functional. I have some space for my keyboard and mouse. Hardly room for my notepad and pencil. So I need to figure out a system to clean each night when I am done working. Tidy it up a little anyways. That may help, and it sure does help. Who knew a simple tidy up at the end of each day was good.
Need to keep your desk tidy and clean. So you can jump right into work the next day. No getting mad cause it is a mess. You can’t find anything!! It has to be tidy- so I have to get to cleaning up my desk. I believe I just closed my eyes to the mess until I couldn’t actually get anything done on it. Got too mad about the mess and I just needed to get it clean and functional.
What Does Need To Be On My Desk??
- keyboard
- mouse
- notepads and pencil
- charger for keyboard or cell phone- This I moved to end of the desk
- pens and markers- ones I use
- lotion ( I now leave in my bathroom)
- bills?? this is where I pay them. (now in my file cabinet)
- sticky notes. (I use the ones on my computer-less clutter)
After I wrote that, I realized I do have lots of triples of all these items. Probably 20 different colors of pens, in pencil holders. Another one for markers, and pencils. I now have all of these in a bookcase, easy enough to get to when I need to. Why do I need them in my work space?? Really, that part I don’t know. Cause I got all stressed out from all this mess and just kept making the mess that got me the stress. Revolving circle and just annoyed with myself on not learning to clean my desk. A learning curve for sure.
So again, that is why I have to clean up my desk. Too many of the same items on it. Making it cluttered.
Well I know I need to tackle cleaning it up. So it works for me. As I really need just my keyboard and something to scribble on. But sometimes I need something for phone numbers and notes. So again, I don’t know where or how to start to clean my desk.
You struggle like me, then you may need some self-help too.
Or even something to help keep your mind clear!!! Love these snaps and helps with energy too.
No matter what you need, you will find it here. I am always finding something to write about. Changes all the time.
My Desk Is My Work From Home
When it comes to working from home, many people look for what I have. But they actually have no idea what they are looking for. Cause it falls in their lap and they have no clue. They say No and this is not for me. Yet it is what they were looking for, they wanted financial freedom and to be the owner of their own time. Yet they still said no to exactly what they were looking for. Most people are just too used of working a regular nine to five job, working for someone else.
Need to make some money from home or even just want to see what this is all about. We have lots of fun here and you’re never alone, and their is always a way to get the help you need. I show up when you show up, and I am there for you when you need me. I love doing what I do and just realized how much. When I thought of actually going to help someone out, working for them cause they are having a hard time finding workers. But I would give up my freedom to do what I want, and be a slave to their time clock.
If this is something you are wanting to walk away from? Your regular job and be the owner of your own time and financial freedom. Work when you say you will, in your own time. Of course we do still work alot, don’t sit around in our pj’s all day. I love sitting at my computer and saying hi or playing with my grandbabies when they need me. I do love what I do and I work as much as I want, working the multiple streams of income we have here. Check this out if you want to ditch the 9-5 and be one of us.
