I was tagged by Marcia from Take Charge and Ariane from Neat Living. The task – photograph our desks to show how we normally have our desks.
I am very visual so you will find notes taped to below my monitor, notecards attached to my action files and tons of things on my bulletin board/whiteboard. But, since they are all up somewhere, it allows me to keep a clean space on my desk.
This is 9am Monday morning:
Left Side of Desk
Middle of desk
Right side of desk
Hi Beth! Thanks so much for “baring it all” and showing us your desk as you really use it! It’s nice to see someone has as much stuff as I do!
– Ariane : )
Hi Beth
Thanks for doing this. Wow – you’re definitely a visual person.
I am reading an excellent e-book at the moment by Suzanne McLoone on your organising style. And I am a mix but definitely not as visual as I once thought.
I would be distracted by it all around me.
And I love the declutter calendar in prominent place – Yes!
Thanks Marcia. I actually organized the bulletin boards. After my time seminar, I will post the new pictures. By the end of the week, the rest of my office should be revamped.
I am visual, but do not like stuff stuck all around me. I am trying to make better use of Outlook. I have been reading “Getting Things Done” by David Allen, and he is a big fan of Outlook, or anything that will utilize the computer rather than sticky notes. Right now I have 2 on my computer, one being to retrain myself and dh to minimize or close by right clicking instead of using the big red X up in the corner of the program, etc., especially Outlook. 🙂
Great tip Lois. I actually took quite a bit down so it has less there. I use HiTask for my to do’s, there is also a program called simple GTD which is faster and easier to use then Outlook. But, not as powerful. My reminders are more “thought reminders” not to do minders 😉
