Few weeks ago, I kicked off Life Simplified. Somehow, with the whole Las Vegas trip, the simplification went on the backburner. However, my Tackle Chart (Vision Board) stayed up and right in front of my face, so re-focusing attention to it was much easier.

Towards checking off items from the list and considering that we are few hours away from 2008 Spring Equinox, the office space has been on the receiving end for cleaning and de-cluttering. Also, two of resources I have been reading (thanks to one of the presentations at work) have inspired me to take action; Zen Habits and Unclutterer. I might not go completely the route of getting rid of everything that is on the desk, but at least non-essentials are either getting placed back in the drawer (or trash if I really don't need) or (better yet) moved it back to the office mail-supply room.

Some rules:

1. Orchids are staying right where they are (I have my priorities in correct order (hee hee)!).... or moved around just for variety. Some of them are coming home with me. :)
2. Why print? Save paper! Make it electronic! Ah! Somethings still need printed paper, such as expense reports, employee manuals, employee updates, possible (or probable reviews), reading material for the bus-ride to and from work and what? Dunno, there may be more in here.
3. The three-hole punch, stapler, lined postit and couple of pencils/pen will stay on the desk. Interestingly, these are all accessories to do with paper. If I don't need paper as much then do I need these accessories? Hm! Food for thought. Perhaps when I clean out the drawers, then I can place them in there and off the desk space.
4. Ok! I have to have the phone on my desk.
5. Box of tissues.... I cannot live without.
6. Rest is all history! :)

Now that the grand utopian desk is set, I am going to tackle the three drawers of complete chaos on Friday. :)
