I sit here and look at my computer desk and I cant believe what I see. Here goes: Scissors Dog harness that needs repairing along with needle and thread Iron tablets Nail varnish Coffee cup Cats ear drops Mobile phone Landline phone (out of its base station) Chinese takeaway menu Hairband Comb Face cleanser and cotton wool Telephone bill Broken lightbulb Sharp knife (dont ask) Moisturiser (face cream) Polish and duster 2 notepad, pencil and pen And some letter I got today in Spanish that I dont understand And thats aside from the computer and peripherals that BELONG here. This all goes to prove that I live at my computer desk and do everything here, whilst on line doing tedious stuff like clicking. How tidy is your desk?

What you need is a large trash can at the end of your desk, then you can just sweep your arm across and, voila, all gone!

well, today i am sick but usually i feel that i am the only one in the family (2 adults, 2 kids) that is putting things away. it gets to be annoying after awhile and i sometimes just get fed up. but i am the one that hates the mess.

Youre the one that hates the mess, so youre the one that tidies. I wonder, if you didnt do it, left it till it was unbearable, would anyone else do it? They might! Im lucky there, I live alone, so theres no one to complain except me.

i also have clutter on my computer desk too but not at all the time. the usual thingst hat you see on my pc table is my mug if coffee that i bring out as soon as i finish sipping it, my digital camera but only if i need to transfer pictures, a pen and a paper ( that is always here on my table) home phone or land line, and tv and dvd remote. sometimes my tablet dispencer is also here at my table but not seen all of the time. i can not work properly if the table has a lot on it. i wuld rather clean it or tidy it up first before starting to do anything on line.

Oh Im constantly cleaning it, thats what the polish and duster are for, but all I do is move stuff about so I can polish, nothing gets put away. Its clean clutter if you know what I mean. Thanks for stopping by and sharing with me.

Oh gosh, dont even make me look!LOL I have 2 desks. The study table one where all my stuff are dumped that you wont even see the surface of the desk. A lot of stuff is in there from books, notebooks, scrap papers, empty water bottles, a mini traveling flat iron, 3 or 4 bags with lots of stuff inside them piled one after the other, a file case, folders, pens, scissors, glue, notepads, rulers, cd's, etc. The other desk that I use would be the one used for the desktop computer. I really dont use the desktop computer since it doesnt have a monitor. Ive been using my laptop ever since my desktop monitor got transferred to my mom's desktop since her monitor got busted. So in this desk, there's the CPU, the keyboard, mouse, then there are file cases, folders, a toy, calculator, cellphone, strap, pen, telephone, earphones, and a pillow. Im using a reclining sofa for a chair instead of a desk chair. Im actually lying on the sofa while using my laptop so the computer desk is really just for putting stuff on, like maybe when I need papers or Im researching for an assignment.^_^

My desk is full of clutter! I have stacks of paper, books, folders, tablets, etc. But even though it may look a frightful mess to everyone else, ironically, I know where everything is.

As I sit before my computer desk and typing this, I am proud to say my desk is pretty much uncluttered (not to chide you or anything like that). I always have had the principle that whatever I need I keep but whatever I don't, I throw away. My wife nags me about how much they cost when I bought them but I don't care how much they cost me when I bought them - I just know that I don't need them now and they will be thrown away. Sometimes it IS hard to do that but when my 6 X 3 foot desk was full of things I never cast a second eye upon ever again, I knew I had to do something drastic. I used to keep pens that no longer write, pencils with broken leads, empty ink bottles - my desk looked like the one at the recycling center at rush hour!

At the moment I'm sitting on my bed with my laptop. But, I look over at my desk, and there is the small basket I stick my mail in til I read it and either file it or throw it away, my ashtray, my case that holds my flash drives ( it's small and just got it today) and the base and set of wireless headphones. I can't stand working at a desk that is messy lol. On the desk in the other room, where my desk top computer is.....that's about it there, except for a couple of books. But, my b/f's computer desk........oh my gosh, there are bills, and papers, and things to shread, and to file, his glasses, ashtray, various pens, tablets, and who knows what else LOL. but that's his mess, not mine! lol

I always try to keep my desk clean.. i don't like much stuff here as my computer desk isn't big enough to accommodate lots of things.. I have only placed the items that i always use on the daily basis. Here are the things you can find at my top desk: - My laptop - Mouse - Mouse pad - Ipod Speakers - Small lamp - Small Mirror - My mobile phone - Ointment Then under my top desk, you'll find: - My nintendo ds lite - Planner and pen - ds lite and mobile phone charger

My desk is very tidy.I like to keep my things in neat positions so that I will know where to find them.i tend to throw or keep away those unnecessary stuff so that I have more space on my table for me to do my work.This apply to my everyday life but sometimes I procrastinate.

Hey ritz! Well, mine isn't that bad yet! When my boyfriend put my computer workstation together I promised him and myself that I would keep it neat and not put all kinds of stuff that didn't belong on the top shelf up there. Well, I have been pretty good, so far! I have a small snack table that is next to me that I am trying to keep orderly with the things like pen, pads, nail file, calculator and a few other odds and ends that I have in a cute red plastic basket. I am determined not to let it look all sloppy since it is in the kitchen!
