Clear desk, clear mind

Does a clear desk really mean a clear mind?

Before the lockdown in March 2020 my ‘home office’ was also a bit of a dumping ground for boxes, my Lego (built sets and in those in storage), and my vinyl record collection. The shift to being fully remote meant a quick re-ordering of some of the stuff in this small bedroom and the rush to be ready for fully remote working.

Nothing has really changed in the last, well, nearly 3 years. In terms of the space, I’ve sorted some of it, moved some to another room, and changed the orientation of the desk to give more useable space for both me and my record collection (which has grown considerably in this time too). But it’s still a cluttered space, and it bothers me.
