It's time for a spring cleanout! Every so often (ok, quite frequently!) when my desk at work becomes unbearably messy I have a complete cleanup. This includes throwing away all the stray post-it notes that are floating around, removing the papers from my in-tray that had once been relevant but are now long forgotten and filing everything else. On completion I usually feel a, very proud of how tidy I am, and quite relaxed because there is (literally) no more clutter that I must think through.
