Tryday

Today is the beginning of Super Clean Up weekend at our house. My study is in a Frightful State, so bad that I have been finding myself procrastinating on even going near the stacks of stuff I have to weed through, recycle, shred, and file.

via Lisa I saw Jennifer Crusie's picture of her workspace, which was mildly cheering. Though if you're an incredibly popular bestselling novelist it really doesn't matter if your office is a mess, now does it?

But it inspired me to my own bit of public humiliation. This is my study right now:


which includes the horrifying mess that is the desk:


and large amounts of paper crap that can probably be gotten rid of but all needs sorting through:


Tasks for today:

• deposit check at bank
• answer work emails
  
• pay bills
  
• clear the work surfaces in the study: books to shelves, papers in crate for temporary holding, random items where they belong
• sweep the floor
• rearrange the furniture (one of the many things I don't like about my workspace)
• go through stack of mail and shred/file/recycle as appropriate
• 20 minutes of sorting and filing of the work surface papers
  
• take dogs to park
• yoga class!
