Desk Cleaning
Short Story
If
you are like me cleaning and getting organized is very difficult. I have to really put everything else aside and tackle the project. I may have to even
use it as a subject for a short story!
10:00 AM
Time to clean my
desk off after years of clutter. I will try and concentrate on one area at a
time. When I tackle a major project, like this one, I try to break the project
down into small little chunks. The smaller the better. Picking the oldest pile,
I first put the books back on the shelf, then file the important stuff and
discard the rest.
Moving to the next
pile, all the files and notes I currently, over the past year, have been taking
care of, I discard the stuff already taken care of. I am getting side tracked, reading all my notes scattered through the pile.
Things are looking so good I will take a break and write start this short story about cleaning off my desk, who knows what interesting items I may find.
Side tracked again,
better get back to cleaning.
Another pile
reduced to blank desk top. Actually the desk drawers are so full I can’t get
any more into them. My file cabinet is also full and I need to get out the
label maker and redo the file folders. Take another break and run out to the
mail box and make another cup of coffee before I complete this project.
12:40 PM
One last corner and
the front half of the desk will be clear at last. Where will I put it all?
Maybe I will work on a new web page now that my desk is cleaned off, thinking
about calling it “WannabeWriter”. My
next cleaning project will be one of the desk drawers and I will have to pick
the worst one, the one that will not hold anything more!
