I can't think when I am surrounded by clutter. (Yeah, you guessed it, I'm at my desk.) I had a goal last week, and the week before that, to get through the stacks of paper that reside on my desk. That hasn't happened yet. In fact, not only have I not cleared my desk of a single paper stack, a few new stacks have mysteriously appeared, like weird haphazard housing developments in a community of nutcases that forgot to build roads.
The paper communities overlap each other, and a few that sit close to the edge of my desk are in danger of sliding off onto the floor. If my cat decides to jump on my desk, they are doomed. I'm sure the dust mites are behind this. That's why I can't relax and get organized enough to clear the clutter. Ever since I read up on dust mites, I see them everywhere. I think they have invaded my brain and are putting up a mental road block that is preventing me from clearly seeing the clutter. They've brainwashed me into thinking that it's impossible to dust behind the bookshelves or under the fridge.
My goal for today, get through my work and treat myself to a clean desk. If I have to stay up until the wee hours of the morning, it will be clean!! (I'll let you know how it goes.)
