Organization is Key

Sometimes I get a little organize crazy, I'll be the first to admit. Whether it be color coding my textbooks with my folders and highlighters per subject or planning things months in advance, I love to organize. I especially love to organize and clean my desk.

So when I knew Sunday would be a busy day of research and writing I knew I would have to organize my desk first, make it clean and professional and ready to work. This meant putting all my magazines away and my beautiful stationary out of sight so I wasn't tempted to read or write surprise little notes to people.

It only took 3 episodes of Constantine but I finally got my desk exactly how I wanted, but it's important that it finally got to where I wanted and needed so I could work.

The point of no return.

A well deserved coffee and banana bread muffin.

Normally, two and half hours of cleaning would make me want to curl up and take a nap but a clean desk does wonders for my productivity. I managed to successfully read four articles, annotate and write for my research model for the rest of the afternoon. I also might have rewarded myself by reading one of those Glamour Magazines you see. :)
