With only a few days remaining in 2020, it is time to turn to the inevitable task of thinking about New Year’s resolutions. At my house, it began a few weeks ago when a crew of workers arrived to change out the leaky windows in my study. The job would take a couple of days, they explained, and it would get pretty messy, so they recommended that I clear the surface of my desk completely.
The desk in question spans the entire eleven-foot wall against which it sits. At first glance, it appears to be well-organized. Magazines, folders, stacks of mail and current projects are all in Container Store-perfect containers. A tray full of “must-haves” such as tape, a stapler, pencil sharpener, tape measure, three-hole punch, paper clips, pens, pencils and highlighters sits to the side.
