My desk is really important to me. It’s not just a physical thing but a state of mind. I’ve only started to think in dept about this recently. My desk must always contain only what I have left on it. I don’t mind having a messy desk as long as it was me who created the mess. Why is this?

I’ve had many arguments with people about my desk. If I walk into my office and see things on my desk that aren’t belonging to me, I’m upset for the day. Sounds a touch to far doesn’t it? It is but I’ve had this notion in my head for years of what my desk means to me.

I strive for a great working environment. How I see my desk in the morning dictates how I will work for that day. They say a messy desk is a messy mind. What does this mean for a empty desk? I think how your desk is setup tells much about that person. Their character.

My desk at home is very different in comparison to the one in work. The one at home is completely empty and sits along side a full length blackboard wall. The basis of my idea generation incubator. At work it’s a very linear, almost industrial factory line of documents.

I think with the adaptation of the internet and remote communications people are actually starting to fight back against this nomadic lifestyle. Fighting for a life that again contains their hub, their desk.

After Nathalie posted this on Facebook yesterday I cannot get enough of it. Hair standing on the back of your neck stuff.
