Lest you think I’m this amazing woman who can juggle a gazillion things at once, I will share a secret.
My desk is a mess. The last time I was this vulnerable was when I showed you my bookcase. So that’s my desk. When I can no longer see the actual surface of the desk, I go through a purge.
I try to blame part of the messiness on hubby and the kids, but it’s mostly me. Since my office is technically the breakfast nook in my apartment, I’m surrounded by dirty dishes and baskets of laundry. The washer and dryer is right behind me. When I make phone calls, I have to make sure my dryer isn’t running.

My problem is I don’t have a system. I sort of do but things keep growing. There are errant toys on my desk, and hubby leaves random kitchen things on my desk, like the container of flour, but I can only blame myself.
I’ve visited several websites for some “orgporn.” You know those glossy pretty pictures of perfect offices in armoires that close up or a teeny tiny closet that some mom actually sits in to pay bills and work. As if. How about the desks with barely anything on them?
So here’s where you come in. How does your office look? Any suggestions once I get rid of some of the clutter?
