Isn’t there a saying about the most creative minds have the messiest desks?  If there is, then I must be pretty creative, because my office is constantly being mistaken for the remnants of a tornado.  It’s not that I don’t like a clean, neat, organized office, and about one week a year it is in good shape.  But keeping it that way is where I always fail.  I have the best intentions, but procrastination and distraction always get the best of me.

I found a new inspiration - the Neat Living Blog. I have signed up for her newsletter and printed out some of her tip sheets. Using strategies from one of my other long time inspirations, FlyLady, I think I can do this. 

If I was really brave (and I’m not), I’d post a before picture of my office, but I’m not sure I can do that yet.  So, I will set my timer for 15 minutes, bring in a big garbage bag, and using Neat Living’s checklist, I will thin out some of the junk in here.

Once I get to the point where I feel like I’ve decluttered, I may even employ some of the tactics recommended by my long-time friend, Gail at Funcilitators using her Fun Shui (sm) - Organize to Energize article tips.

Are you like me - a recovering clutter-holic? Feel free to share some inspiration or commiseration with me!
