The Desk

There is one desk in our office that tends to stay a teensy bit messier than the others. I'll name no names but, I will give you a pic:

Some believe that organizational efforts, like keeping your desk organized, might close off random, unplanned influences and cost valuable time that could be used elsewhere. It shouldn't matter how messy your desk is as long as you can find everything, right? It's easy to locate what you need in a mess as long as it's your mess. Others argue that a messy desk is distracting and what is easy one the eyes is easy on the mind. If everything is put away and organized, you have more usable desk space and won't waste time trying to find things. Put things away as you use them, throw away trash, file important documents etc...

I believe everyone's mind functions differently and there is an optimal level of mess for everything in life. I'm interested in what your thoughts are. Leave me a comment below.
