organize my desk

I finished organizing my desk this morning. I actually ended up organizing my whole room, which is nice. Everything is much less cluttered now, I have actual room to work! We’ll just have to wait and see if this will inspire me to actually do any work.

I actually got started on doing this this evening. All I’ve done is clear out the cupboard of my desk, but in doing so I’ve freed up a lot of space in/on my drawers.

I discovered that I hoard a lot of paperwork, probably in fear of a bureaucratic screw up. However, I was brutal and ruthless and reasoned that no, I did not need bank statements from four years ago. Nor did I really need to keep my schoolbooks from year 12, though they hold sentimental value (huh?) I will never need to use them again.

I organized all of my ‘important documents’ neatly in a folder. Why does the university insist on sending about four enrolment records per semester?? More importantly, why do I insist on keeping them all?

Now my desk cupboard are frighteningly neat, full of lots of lovely stationary. I’ve promised myself not to buy any more notebooks until I’ve used all the ones I already have. That will only last until I find something exceptionally wonderful!
