Since the pandemic, I’ve been working from home. I had a sit-stand desk at the office and it really made working more pleasant. I finally ordered one for home, and I’m very excited!
I had to remove everything from my desk to move the old desk out and get the new one set up. So this is before (sorry about the shaky picture):
And this is after my wife very kindly put the new desk together and I set up my computer:
So… obviously there are a lot of things from the first picture I have to figure out what to do with. My tendency is to just put everything back so I can get on with it.
That clean desk sure looks nice and a lot calmer though! My hope is that I can trim down what I think I need on my desk. To do that, I need to come it from multiple directions: find better places to store items, carefully consider each item and whether I really need at all, and decide what needs to be on my desk.
I have to figure out how to shake up my thinking about what I keep and need. For example, I have a “saying a day” calendar and I’ve been keeping the old days, because they are really good sayings. But I really don’t need them. I don’t even really need to new days, come to think of it. So I won’t get one next year.
