I spent an entire day right at the end of the year (December 30 to be exact) cleaning out my office. I didn’t want to start the new year in a disaster zone or behind, so I felt like the time was worth it. It took a LOT longer than I thought. But it’s done now and I am so relieved. Papers are filed, notebooks are organized, files are purged and best of all there is a stack of brand new legal pads waiting for ideas, lists, inspirations, notes–potential.
Today has been a good start to my 2011 work year. The office is quiet because my student workers don’t come back until Monday and I hope to have some productive thinking and planning time until then.
