operation: minimalist office complete
June 16, 2008
before:
after:
what i did:
- removed every book that i have not/will not use
- removed wall hangings (notes/record albums/college degrees)
- removed all paper clutter from desktop (stored in my top drawer)
- removed all office equipment from desktop (stapler/tape)
- removed noncurrent clutter from bulletin board
- removed misc clutter from bookshelves (souvenirs/sports memorabilia)
- painted
results:
- able to focus / less distraction (my mind matches my activity)
- a vision for the future (no longer tied to the past)
- more energy (clutter is so mentally draining)
- endless possibilities…
