Messy Desk?

The second Monday in January is National Clean Off Your Desk Day. For all the messy desks out there, I guess you just have to be cleaned once a year. Supposedly, 13% more men have untidy desks than women. Yet, statistics say those with the mess are likely to have more education and to be more task oriented.

Some people need a neat organized space in which to work. Others like to have everything they need spread out before them, which often means clutter. In general, neither one accomplishes more than the other. It's more important to use the method that works best for you.

So, this second Monday in January is a good day to straighten your desk. For the messy ones, you won't need to celebrate in this way for another whole year. For those who prefer everything neat and orderly, you can just continue to do what you usually do, and clean off your desk. Happy celebrating.
