Today, on the 22nd of June 2009, I have christened it as Clean Desk Day for me, and am inviting others to participate too. I’ve had a fairly (understatement!) messy desk for the longest time, and due to lots of research by others, I’m convinced that a clean desk helps with productivity. Knowing how important time is in this era, I need to squeeze out as much as I can.

So, I dug around under my piles of “stuff” and disposed a whole lotta things. Here’s BEFORE I started cleaning…

Before the big clean up!

And from angle number #2…

One minute later, and I’m DONE! Whoopeeee… that was easy.

1 minute later... it's all under the desk!

Heheh, so when’s Clean Floor Day?

Some 10 minutes later, I managed to file all my junk, dispose of excess paper in the recycling heap and actually be proud to say my desk is CLEAN. Well, for now anyway.

Some say, a clean desk is the sign of a sick mind. Oh well, I guess I’ll try to be sick for a little while, anyway.

After I posted this blog post, good Twitter-mate @aprilyim posted her own #cleandesk contribution. If you look closely, you can see how hard she works (look at her notebook!).
