Order in the Office

I like to think of myself as an organized person, especially after The Space Case taught me so many lessons. But the evidence seems to be to the contrary:
Last week I’d had enough. I cleaned my office. Two days later, I went to grab a document from the . . . hmm . . . I honestly had no clue where to look for it other than amidst the piles on top of my desk, but there were no piles on top of my desk.
So I spent an hour tearing my office apart until I finally found it (in a file). On a train ride home from NYC today, I opened The New York Times. Looks like I’m not the only one with this dilemma.

Man, I hate it when that happens. However, it never happens to me because I still have all the piles. Perhaps I have every pile I ever made--or so it seems.

I can find ANYTHING - until I put it away. I once "lost" a winter coat for months because it didn't occur to me to look for it in the closet. Dur. My floor is the biggest shelf in my house!

I hear ya! It is a constant battle in this house to keep the flat surfaces clear. The file cabinet and the shelves next to it are the worst for clutter.

I am usually pretty organized but as an assistant to a busy family law lawyer sometimes the paper piles get out of control. When I get it all filed he inevitably asks me for something and I KNEW where it WAS but now that it's supposed to be in the file it is lost! I came over from Wanda's blog.
