My desk as a to-do list

I finally cleaned my desk today. It is now a crisp, clear horizon of productive possibilities.

And I set a new rule for myself, a philosophy really: outside of items that have dedicated positions and purposes, only tasks-at-hand are allowed on the surface of my desk. These tasks must be competed by the end of the week they’re put on my desk.

I’m sure there will be some adjustment to make this habit work, but it’s exciting to think that this surface is no longer open storage, it’s a physical, active to-do list I can walk up to and get to work any time.
