On Messy Desks - I am outing myself as a Messy Desk Person, one whose idea of "organization" means stacks of papers and stuff all over the place. What does your work area look like?

Comments ...
My work area looks very similar to yours (at least, in terms of the level of organization).
How does the old saying go? "If a cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind, then what does an empty desk signify." :)

I'd have to say yours looks rather neat and organized compared to how things look here at times.

I know excatly where every important paper is and the further down the pile in piles 1,2,&3, the less important it is. And of course I have the "leaning tower of crap" conveniently located on the edge of my desk, just above the waste basket.
This is what I call "The Self-Cleaning Desk" the higher the crap the more it leans and eventually sheds a few into the waste basket

Do you have to be still working to qualify? My desk and computer niche is horrendous.

Hell, after looking at the pic, yours is a masterpiece compared to mine. Wish I was that neat, actually. 8^D

My desk/work area, is is cluttered, but not too messy - I clear out the unnecessary stuff & mess often enough. I spend a lot of time on the computer & sell rare & collectable books, antiques, etc. so my desk reflects a lot of that - value guides, a bit of a hodge podge of this & thats that I've accumulated; a blow-up of the "Scream" that reflects my mood a lot; s small pic of John Lennon; and an enormous stack of books waiting for me to get busy. An empty desk is boring to me - I like to see things on it that make me smile.
